You're still asleep. That was tongue in cheek. I've got a Rockwell 14" (not to mention an ancient 20" Porter Cable in pieces), it could use some tuning (new tires), but everything else is set right. Even with high tension on a high count skip tooth blade (dressed with a stone and running in cool blocks) I don't get smooth enough cuts in maple to avoid sanding.

Eddy has a little bench top delta (I think) with a very thin kerf blade and very high speed. Does a better job for most plug building chores than my real saw. If I had someplace to put it I'd buy one just to do lip slots.
