Go for the P&W. I have some friends that work at the Middletown, CT
rebuild facility. I'll put in a good word when you send it in for the
100,000 hour maintenance. <G>

Tom,
I have one of those saws, but I have a problem with it. Perhaps you can
help.

When I want to do some tight radius work I put in the 1/16" blade. It
seems to track OK, but after just a few cuts the blade breaks. Am I
tensioning it too much?

Tom W. -
#1. I don't think Timberwolf makes blades for this.

#2. Definitely opt for the 460HP Kitty cat!

#3. Gawd, I hope not!

#4. I was just thinking Tom P. had a real MEAN sense of humor!(G,D,&R)

Good Morning, Tom.

Three things:

1. Can I use my Timberwolf blade on it?

2. Would you go for the Cat motor or the Pratt and Whitney?

3. Please tell me you're not thinking of building the MOABsaws.

I don't know what your budget is but I think this would be the 'best' resaw
you could use for resawing hardwoods. It comes with 125hp motor so it can
run all day.

Let me know if you need a hand setting it up.

I've got one of those Tom. He won't need any help setting it up. Comes
pre-assembled right out of the box! just plug 'er in, load a chunk of wood
and let it RIP!!!
