In Response To: Tools: Saw for strip-cutting (Dan G)

i just finished up the deck on my guillemot today.

all the strips were cut with craftsman contactor 10 inch saw, that is almost 20 years old. i have seen them often at garage sales. for under 100 dollars. mine has extensions and legs but if you take them off its mostly like the bench saws at depot.

cedar is soft and easy to cut. so any saw will do.

check out the pawn shops too. ofer them 1/3 of the marked price.

band saw shuld work. just get a milling balde thats extra wide (not thick), and use a long fence. that will keep the wavy cuts to a minimum.
