Woodrush Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 i try top feeding every now and then but always go back to bottom feeding. i learned on bottom feeding saws and never felt the need to change. mostly all i do is fret work and i dont think it slows me down OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) It really depends on the size of my project and how small my entry holes are. I top feed on large detailed fretwork. it is easy on my hawk and the EX. On most of my smaller projects I bottom feed. Top feeding becomes second nature after doing it for a while. The EX is a bit more interesting because of all the holes in the table. Edited November 16, 2019 by Rolf OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Top feeder 75% on my EX and Dewalt. I also have a Hegner which is a bottom feeder which accounts for most of the 25%. I am produ to be a top feeder. Yes there is a learning curve. You need to develop a feel. I started top feeding when I worked on a couple pictures that were 14 x 20.
