I am thinking of purchasing a TS75 for a particular task and would appreciate feedback on whether or not it would work.
I am currently building a large dining room table with a top consisting of two rectangular bubinga slabs. Each slab is about 10 feet
long, 26 inches wide (each) and 1.875" thick. The slabs are already surfaced; I paid an large industrial outfit to do that for me.
However, I need to finish milling these to rectangular slabs. Each slab is VERY heavy; about 180lb each, so i won't be throwing
them up on my table saw. My idea was to use a TS75 and guide rail system. What do you think? Would this saw be up to the task?
Bubinga is very dense material. I am assuming i could also do the cuts in a couple passes, gradually lowering the blade. After I have
things roughly cut this way, I can use a straight cutter on my router to clean it up fine.
Thanks for the feedback
