The slabs averaged 15” wide by 9’ long… The trimming resulted in a tabletop undulating between 36” and 38” wide.
The TS-75 was certainly up to the task… I had one major blunder, but it ended up fine. As I was cutting my second board, unbeknown to me, the power cord got tangled up and pulled the saw out of the track. This resulted in a horrific kickback and destroying the last 2’ of the track.
I’m now a wiser operator with a better appreciation of the saw’s power!
