Great craftsmanship. May I ask what do you do with these signs? Do they sell are they for personal use? I really is something new and different on here.
I saw several things I really want to do,,,,, wish the days were longer. Love the Chess set, the bird patterns and if I ever do intarsia, that pheasant will be one of the first I try.
Steve Good did a review of the Jet, it is on his Youtube channel and Carole Rothman has done a review of it also. I have not read much about it by users. I believe the Jet is a bottom feed only saw and if you are a bottom feeder that would not be a concern, if a top feeder, forget it. Have you considered the new Seyco saw. Top or bottom feed, very nice large table, the largest available. Great customer service.
You said the MultiMax Hegner is 18". That is the depth. Bigger than what you currently have. If it is variable speed and has the tension release lever at the front of the upper arm it is a good saw.
If the MultiMax is in good condition, yep would be my choice without a doubt. If the table seems small, there are always ways to add auxiliary table over it.
