Re: Tablesaw Power feed
Yup, clearly there's a strong competitive product to what I'm offering. But I developed my feeder to address the Baby Feeder's shortcomings (which I was all too familiar with) for my own use, and succeeded so well that I'm offering it to others. Here are the Little Proteus's advantages over the BF: ...

Re: Tablesaw Power feed
With power feed, you can rip strips for boats from 3/4" cedar like that 2 at a time with 2 saw blades and spacer. Best to use 7-1/4" 1/6" kerf blades, and splitters in custom insert for both blades. This guy used 4 blades at a time! https://smallboatsmonthly.com/article/gang-sawing/ I...

Re: Tablesaw Power feed
Welcome to the forum! Glad you were able to get in as a member. Are the rollers parallel to the fence in your design or is there a cant to keep the workpiece registered to the fence?
