    I'll just post you a Pic I did for lefty
    Which picture am I meant to be looking at?

    OK, let's break it down. Here's how I understand your process:

    1. Pick up the sheet and lay it on your cutting table
    2. Mark your cut (or cut your storey stick)
    3. Assemble the guide rail (it's in short lengths, is it not?)
    4. Position and clamp it to the sheet
    5. Attach the saw
    6. Make the cut
    7. Unclamp the guide

    Repeat.

    Is that right? Now you didn't answer me, but when you brag about being able to do it faster than you could on a tablesaw, are you actually cutting more than one sheet at a time? If so, then you would definitely have an edge, speed wise. But how would you go with lots of different sizes? Do you still think it would be quicker?

    If not, then time yourself from start to finish (be honest) and I will do the same. I can't be bothered with videos etc but if you really think it's quicker, then lets try it. I don't think having a race with powertools and tablesaws is a great idea.

    I still want to know how you would cut a narrow board into strips.

    That's wonderful for you mate, but I'd still like you to answer my questions because I'm trying to understand how you reckon it's so much faster than a tablesaw.

    Silent that post is a long time ago...................N I think around the second time I ever used the Smartguide.

    I'll assure you that I am very fast n proficient with it these days n have a 'system' that I have developed over the years since its purchase.

    Go to the EurekaZone Website It'll answer all you questions YOu had an opportunity to take me on.........................IT WAS YOU THAT BACKED DOWN

    Nuff said

    OK, let's break it down. Here's how I understand your process:

    1. Pick up the sheet and lay it on your cutting table Easier than wrestling it onto a saw bench by yourself

    2. Mark your cut (or cut your storey stick) Just as quick as adjusting your fence measurment

    3. Assemble the guide rail (it's in short lengths, is it not?) 1 long length

    4. Position and clamp it to the sheet No clamps it has a non stick base

    5. Attach the saw it just sits on, takes 2 seconds

    6. Make the cut So much quicker to push a saw on a guide than pushing a sheet along a fence (and holding it againsed so theirs no wondering) and with out a decent outfeed table you have 2 boards to manage by your self

    7. Unclamp the guide no clamps dont forget, its a non slip surface under the guide rail

    You're not making any sense.

    Silent that post is a long time ago
    You posted the link to it, I assumed I was meant to look at something in it?

    Why can't you answer the questions? Like I said, don't be a smart asre, I'm willing to learn. Help me to understand.

    Why can't you do what I asked? It's easier than setting up video cameras. Just go and time yourself, honestly, and I'll do the same. Rip one 2400 sheet to say 600mm wide. I'll start timing from when I bring the sheet down from the rack and lean it against the wall, you do the same. I'll do it now if you want.

    Why 3? Why not 4 or 6 or 8? What's the magical number 3?

    Don't worry, I already know, even though you wont admit it.

    No clamps it has a non stick base
    I know what you meant. BTW that one was directed at Lou. I think his gadget clamps, does it not?

    I don't have any particular difficulty cutting sheets by myself. I'm over 6', so I can pick them up easily. I don't have any trouble holding them against the fence, I have an outfeed table.

    The only time I have trouble is if I have to cross cut, by which I mean cutting the short side of a rectangle. It is not that great an idea to try and do this with a rip fence. I make a judgement call on that. Sometimes I clamp a fence and use the circular saw, sometimes I use a crosscut sled.

    I reckon 6 would be a line call mate. What about 3 of all different sizes?

    hmmm, I just read your post properly (must stop doing that) 3200 * 2400 huh? Don't even know where I would get sheets that size here and I certainly wouldn't try cutting them on a tablesaw. Biggest I have got is 2400x1200.
