Is Have to agree with that the only time I feel a chopsaw shines is, if constantly swinging left and right. Especially if a newbie uses it. A bit of forward thinking helps a lot in work flow. Also a lot of time I just use a couple of roller stands

Ya once you start playing with it you see a world of possibilities. As I said I'm thinking of a horse or two with a teflon strip on the top as a support you wouldn't have to move around when switching angles. They're also handy for cross cuts. We use them in film for our cabinet saws. I honestly don't know why there aren't more "pull saws" on the market. Just a brilliant piece of kit. In a way I'm glad there isn't, gives me an advantage.

Here's an example of a horse we use in film as infeed/crosscut support for standard cabinet saws. The teflon is non marring and of course low friction. Simple little thing really.

That's a nice horse. Thanks for sharing.
My first work with Teflon was decades back in the carbon fiber industry and I've found it useful with and as a tool. I've used adhesive backed film with some fixtures including 8020 fixtures. Here in the USA I usually get it from a higher cost source, McMaster. I also use HDPE from the same source as it can be low friction but lower cost alternative. But Teflon is king.

As my Bosch plastic table saw started to deteriorate after only 6yrs. I started to look ie shop for the best that I could. festool saw Naina metabo Naina. I spent almost a year looking and what actually sealed it for me shopping online. I was on a euro used machine tool site I saw a 30 yr old Erika for sale eureka that's it. Any company that make a tool last that long is A++ in my book. Already owning 6 Mafell tools it was an easy but $$$. 2 yr later report is so worth it I don't use it every day but look forward to needing to use it. "Erika if Mafell got it right " for me they hit it out of the park again. If and when I down size my shop the Erika stays till I die. Have a great day
