Sunday I demod to a guy who makes wooden clamps out of maple, some soft some hard and a littel oak too. He was suprised that the SB cut in one pass !!! He has been using a pin router with more HP. I wasnt , but then I dont use my SB on an 8 hr daily basis to do one thing either. I demoed both a 3/8" HHS spiral bit and a 1/2" Carbide to cut similar paths. So ... My questions are How come the divergent experiences ? Am I not pushing my machine and therefore dont have a true view of "production" capabilities ? Does anyone else out there do that level of output with their SB ? Thaks in advance Bob
