We went from mostly panel saw (Schelling) & CNC part detailing to mostly nested on a Komo. If you count handling time and accuracy the nested setup is better. The router allows the operator a little time for sorting, labeling and moving things down…
This group is for anyone interested in panel-based woodworking such as for cabinetry.
Buying the wrong machine for the intended work, finding out that there are other things you should have considered other than the "intended" work. (In my case, I'd sure like to have a C-axis) If most of your work is panel processing, nesting is a gr…

I replaced a 6 year old Unisaw with a new SawStop 2 years ago. Well made saw. I've never been in a shop that had a Unisaw with the blade guard in place and couldn't keep one on here either. It seems like the extra $ for the safety was a no brainer.
