I had seen the Evolution saw at Amazon, and saw it again last night when I went there to find the model number of the Dewalt saw for my previous email. Someone had asked a question on Amazon. Why is the Dewalt multi cut saw more than twice the price of the Evolution saw? The answer was that the quality of the Evolution saw wasn't good. I've never used either so I can't say. I'm cheap. If I just had a few cuts to make, I'd be tempted to get the Evolution. If I was making cuts like Wallace (8 cubic feet of swarf per job!) I'd spend more in the hope of getting more. Durability and cut quality are certainly issues, but at those volumes, saving five seconds per cut is a significant labor savings. This thread reminds be of my desire to use LinuxCNC to make an automated band saw... or updated to the modern technology, an automated multi cut saw. All of this stock prep work seems like boring work for a human. Even in a world with audiobooks to occupy my mind while doing repetitive tasks, I'll still spend 40 hours to automate a job to save 20 hours of tedium. :-) _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
