Woodrush Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 i try top feeding every now and then but always go back to bottom feeding. i learned on bottom feeding saws and never felt the need to change. mostly all i do is fret work and i dont think it slows me down OzarkSawdust 1 Quote
Rolf Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) It really depends on the size of my project and how small my entry holes are. I top feed on large detailed fretwork. it is easy on my hawk and the EX. On most of my smaller projects I bottom feed. Top feeding becomes second nature after doing it for a while. The EX is a bit more interesting because of all the holes in the table. Edited November 16, 2019 by Rolf OzarkSawdust 1 Quote
NC Scroller Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Top feeder 75% on my EX and Dewalt. I also have a Hegner which is a bottom feeder which accounts for most of the 25%. I am produ to be a top feeder. Yes there is a learning curve. You need to develop a feel. I started top feeding when I worked on a couple pictures that were 14 x 20. OzarkSawdust and Rolf 2 Quote
