I got tired of clearing space and pulling out the big Delta with all the set-up and power feed adjustments.

Setting up for milling strips is a bit of a pain. The hardest part is clearing out enough length in my shop to deal with in-feed and out-feed. The power feed setup takes maybe 10-15 minutes. The magnetic featherboards require no setup.

For efficiency I do tend to mill all the strips I'll need for a year in one session. https://youtu.be/jUVxt2rSr_Y

I would like a smaller saw, just so it doesn't take as much space the rest of the time. A couple years ago, I got rid of my 52" side extension table because I rarely used it. I cut the fence adjustment rail to 32" and found a cast iron side wing on eBay. It is much more manageable, but still takes up space.
