Will help a lot when you do some birch or maple. Cedar and pine are child's play with this type of set up but when you get into rock maple and birch it will scare the hell out of you sometimes, especially after you rip a plug or two right out of the centers. You will have wrists like John L Sullivan after a while. Cramping of the wrists and forearms are the only downfall of this set up but if you are only doing short runs than it is a lot of fun and very efficient. Also taking off the edges before you load them will help you a lot. Want them to look like stop signs. I use the band saw and a big v groove fixture. I did a post of that fixture a few years back
