 Ripping multiple 1x's with the MKS 130. Much faster than using the MT 55! |

Found a few more photos featuring the 130. Ripping 8/4 rock maple for my upcoming Roubo workbench build.   Not using dust collection at the time but the ct33e with the large diameter hose works well. |

Almost strange that the 130 rides the same F rails,it's a monster. I cut a bunch of 8/4 cherry today with my MT55. I'll post vids once I get my youtube figured out.

Thats a great use for that saw. I considered getting that saw in the past but haven't developed enough work to justify.
Is that a common use for your shop and MKS 130? Have you used it for any joinery?

As I understand all of the larger circ saws run on the f tracks. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Have you used it for any joinery? It's an awesome saw. Extremely powerful and handles just as well as the mt55. Quite nimble for its size. Every project is very unique so I wouldn't quite say this was a common use. We we use the MKS mostly for ripping and cross cutting thick material up to 5" or so (glulams and timber). It also excels at cutting the vee on the top side of valley timbers. I think mafell's youtube channel shows this. Sometimes we use it to cut compound miters on thinner timbers but more often use the ZSX for added capacity. So we use it often and as it suits the work at hand. Yes it's also good for cutting tenons but if the tenons are 90degrees the Z5 is faster. I'll post photos as I come across them. |

Mafell certainly has things figured out when it comes to the Z5. That tool is truly amazing. I've seen it flipped upside down and used like a traditional bandsaw.

Here's an example of some work cut with the MKS 130 and the mt55. Sliding dovetail on 6x10 barge rafters. This was to keep them from twisting out of alignment without relying on steel. I know I have a photo showing the tools in use for this particular joint, but can't find it. I'll keep looking. ![]()  |

That joint is simple yet perfect for the task. I can imagine building that tongue a little longer and pegging it for a rock solid joint. Great application!
