   David:

   If that equipment isn't sold in a pretty catalog with an embossed cover complete with a forest animal as a mascot then most people here won't be interested in it.

   Cool saw though...

   Hi David ,

             That certainly looks like  what we call a jump saw , is it the same ?

   Dunno, I never came across the term "jump saw".

   It's what we call an upcut saw - although our stuff here in the UK generally has a lot more guarding on it. The TigerStop fence is popular for use with them to up the productivity. Centauro in Italy make a neat one which has a rotating saw base to do mitre angle cuts.

   How do you sight the cut? Is the kerf in the table the exact size of the blade? Or is it mainly meant for heavy production so it would only be used with a stop block?

   Andy,
   I inspected one of these at work in a factory situation. Although the kerf is marked on the tabletop, all the sawing is done without sighting at all, using stops on the outfeed table. It's a heavy production machine by definition.David Ring

   That is identical to a Whirlwind or Grecon Opticut machine. They have very fast cycle times and are used by companies like Kraftmaid, Merillat, Decorative Specialties, etc.. for cutting stiles/rails to finish length.
   Usually run a 400mm + blade with 108+ teeth in a modified ATB grind.
