Hi, I have some slabs of Cedar of Lebanon that i need to rip cut before planning and thicknessing. The only problem is the slabs are around 4 and 1/2 inches thick and my table saw has a max cut of 90mm. I have a bandsaw that would do the job, but the slabs are 500mm wide and 2.8m long, so would...

Hi, I have a small workshop, with the main dust generating machines being a lathe, router table and bandsaw. These are currently extracted via a ducted system hooked up to an axminster 801 extractor, that shifts 1000 m3 per hour. However, this is really strugling to pull much air through, so...
