No news ! Have not used the tool yet , parts and manual are supposed to be delivered by the 21st of April . Will return the tool on the 22nd if the missing parts are a no show . The Timberwolf Tools "about us" saying that somebody checks the paperwork and parts is bull$hit . Just another day on the planet..........life lesson #19,695 + or - ......ha ha |

Sorry to hear that. Bad enough the tool wasn't 100 percent out of the box, three weeks (or more) to make it right...

It's funny when the Erika and this tool arrived within weeks of each other I thought for sure that this would get my attention first. I took it apart and mounted the different cutters but since I don't work in a shop environment it has sat for the past two months. Last week I had a small project that I volunteered for and was thinking of using it for the dado's and then decided to domino my joints. The funny thing is , the Erika stole my attention . I was little overwhelmed with the Erika because I really didn't know where to begin but as soon as I started using it , I quickly realized the more I use it the more i discover it can do. So I have some drawer boxes to build in a couple weeks and I think the MF26 will be my go to for this.....

I need to do some 45-mm dados... Table saw, router, or 26? It depends. All three will work. At 45mm you will have to make multiple passes. For me the tablesaw works for smaller sheet goods that are close to square in shape. If it is shelving unit where the dadoes run perpendicular to the longest length of the wood then it will be tough to manage it on the tables saw unless you have a sliding table and even then there could be complications. For something like a shelving unit I'd use the router, unless I had the MF 26cc, which I am seriously considering. I like the idea of being able use the rail to line it up. When I use a router I usually make a pass with my MT-55 on the cut lines to reduce tear out on the cut line (depends on material) and then follow up with the router. In terms of safety I'd rank the tablesaw method as least safe. |

This is not a tool I'd take on site and if so I can buy one of the step up voltage converters. I think the extra juice would help with what can be a power intensive cut. |

I still don't understand why tablet saw dado cutters are banned in the EU. There's risk at the end of the cut as the blade is hidden up until then but that can be guarded against.

Probably because the end result is disastrous. There are tools we can't get here I'm sure. I saw a Bosch mitre saw that had a small tablesaw platform on top of it that used the same blade. Seems like a bad idea all the way around. |

I use dado stacks all the time. I don't know what the big deal is. As for the most/table saw, those have between around for a long time. There are distributors in North America, just Serena too always to use.
