Yes it does look very nice.
I want one of those... Just because... :D :rolleyes: :)
Not in my 2013 budget though, too many other things sucking money right now. :o
I will still keep a little hole in the shop to roll one into "one of these days". :)

I wish someone with one of these would post a video on YouTube showing the sliding blade in action. I have a hard time visualizing how the stock is held while the blade is pulled through it.

I watched a demo some years ago at either the Indiana State Fair or a Home Show but I'll be darned if I can remember just what they did. :rolleyes: I just know I really wanted one before the demo and more after... :D :D :D :D

Looks like a Deluxe Model (555580) with the Excalibur fence and the 49 inch rails. Sure doesn't look like it's seen much use. Might be a version of an Incra miter sled along with it.
