Byrnes table saw and second planking material.

[rtropp]

Does it make sense to use the Byrnes saw for the very thin second planking of most models?  Are there special precautions required?

I am just wondering, my Chopper is no longer usable so should I try to use the Byrnes. it is a powerful little saw and not sure that crosscuts using a sliding table would be a good idea?

If not, what, at a reasonable price, would best replace the Shortline Chopper?

 

thank you,
