I needed to upgrade my saw from a DeWalt Table saw with a jig I made to a DeWalt Miter Saw DWS713 (cheapest one they make I think). I went with the Logan F100-5 Framers Fence which has been recently discontinued but found a place that had one left on stock. I made the platform and put on a high table I got at auction for $10.

The challenge is that it is hard to meet the price point with quality aluminum frames. It happens I have a good bit of stock of precut aluminum frames and if I was able to cut them, I could meet the cost and profit margin goals. With the recently acquired Frame Square mitre saw, I loaded it up with a Diablo 80 tooth aluminum blade and was very pleased with the results and will be doing my own chops from now on.   This is an original Peter Max and will have 2 more coming as well in the same style. Since he had other frames we were working to get in the ballpark of the ones which were framed by P...
