Thanks, Pat.
cutter, the old Phaedra's work exactly like the new Phaedra system. The only changes in the new system is the addition of 2 clamps out front and the calibration decal on both tables. The rest of the system is exactly like the one that I have used for years.
As Pat said, you are missing an important step in speeding up your cutting of frame legs. That little self adhesive "ruler" that should be positioned directly behind your stop makes changing from one leg length to another a snap. If you look on your stop, you will see a plexiglas piece with a red vertical line on it. THAT is what we are referring to, that should be set as a first step on whatever length of frame leg you want to cut. And, to set that line on a given measurement, you need to have that self adhesive tape installed behind the stop in that shallow groove in the table back. Anyway, you are selling the system so it may be a moot point to you.
I don't think that I will be needing a new system soon. There is really nothing to wear out on a Phaedra system. Mine cuts as accurately as it did when I bought it. I cut 7 frames yesterday before leaving for home, 2 of the same profile, and the others of different profiles and, with setup for each profile, cutting, coloring the miter edges, and joining, it took just over an hour and 15 minutes and that was just cruising along, no rush or hurry. It was the end of the work day. I needed them dried for today to assemble the work or I probably wouldn't have messed with them.
(I usually take the last hour of the work day to check email and the Grumble and just wind down a little bit.)
