otho96 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Ok i have a question. I have made a razor back that i posted, which i post again, it measures bout 14" in length and bout 8 or so high. I have had a request to make another one that is 2feet by 1foot, or even bigger if possible. Question i have is how do i make the bigger projects if my saw only has 16" from blade to arm. I have seen some stuff on here that has been really big just not sure how i go about it. I like to make it for him, 1 just to see if i can do it and 2 well i think it be cool. Any tips tricks or help would be great. As always Thanks J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 If you all the stars align, you can cut 32" with a 16" saw by working from the middle out. This doesn't always work out, though, because of angles of some of the cuts. But if you put together a game plan and think it through before cutting by working from the middle out, you might be able to pull it off. I think a lot of those large cuttings are done on the bigger saws (like the Excalibur 21"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jteagle77 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 This is where a spiral blade comes in handy. You don't have to turn your work peice to make all your cuts. Just follow your cut line no matter forward , backward or side to side. You could even go bigger than 32" because you can angle your peice and clear arm. I have cut 45"x60" over lay peices for picture frames on my 788 20". John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
