I cut very small pieces to make segmented turnings, A Festool table saw with a riving knife and a fence that has small holes on the side that your material is guided on. Then you connect your CT-33 to the end by the handle. Now your fence will suck your material to it as you make the cut. Wink It's time for someone to step it up Wink

Well, there are some things like this outside North America.  I also work with small pieces a lot, and rely on my bandsaw.  Of course, dust collection on a bandsaw is not going to do what you ask, but it's the safest way to work with small stock.

How about laying the pieces to be segmented under a sheet 1/4" hardboard and cutting through it on the MFT? Or how about spray adhesive and heavy brown paper to stick them together and cut through that.

For small work, I've always thought this would be a good solution.  Now with the MFT for larger stuff, even more so.

Hi Ned,

Have you ever seen one of these machines in real life? Sorta reminds me of the Inca tablesaw.

A real loss when Inca folded. Back in college I bought the jointer/planer and tilting table saw with mortising attachment. Sold it all for a song when I moved thinking furniture making was just a hobie at the time. Give anything for them back.

I believe there is a market albeit a small one for German made small cabinet saws.

No, though I'll be looking for it at an upcoming show.  Notice the dimensions.  This thing is tiny.  Kind of a mini Felder.

Any shows anytime soon? It's beginning to look more and more that I might be a Southern California guy, so I guess I need to dial into the scene down here.

Veering OT--

The Woodworking Show (modest, huh?) will be running one in Pomona at the Fairplex.

Pomona Info

There should be more information on that page later, but for now:

When: Friday; May 2, 2008 12 -6
Saturday; May 3, 2008 10 -6
Sunday; May 4, 2008 10 - 4

Fairplex Building #4
1101 W. McKinley Ave.
Pomona, CA 91768
(909) 623-3111
venue website: Fairplex
Parking: Free

If you've got a postcard from them for any of their shows offering $2 off admission, the fine print says "Good for all 2007 and 2008 shows."  They sent me a postcard about the upcoming Sacramento show, which tells us something about what Rhode Islanders think is "near".

I'm aiming to go Friday, before the weekend crush.  I'll be the guy in his 50s, gray hair and beard, and a flannel shirt.  Should be easy to spot.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I went to this trade show when it was in Charlotte a couple weeks ago. Spare yourself. It's a Chinese flea market. The only quality vendors were Veritas, Kreg, Laguna, and Forrest.
