Well it's new to me anyway.  A while back I posted a want add for a Hendricks Rail Panel saw. I had bid on one I seen on Ebay, but got beat out at the last second on it for 10 bucks. I was kicking myself in the a$$ all the next day for not bidding higher.  Well as it worked out the high bidder never responded to the bid and I was contacted as the runner up bidder.  This saw has an 8"X15' H beam as the bed and should be able to cut 14' long. It takes a 14" blade driven by 5 hp. with automatic feed.  I'm going to use it to straight edge boards after they've been dried.  As you probably know trying to run a 14 foot 10" maple board over a jointer isn't the easiest thing in the world to do and to try it on enough to cover a barn is just down right stupid.  Got it off the truck today and can't wait to get it set up and try it out.

Nice shopteacher, not what I expected for a panel saw. Never thought of using one as a slr. Be interested to see how it works out for ya.

Patty says I can't have any new toys er I mean tools that are so big they have to be delivered on a truck. I guess she's gun shy after the last one came on a semi. ;D
