Anybody have the recently introduced Driftmaster bandsaw fence from Laguna? I am considering installing it on my MM20. I especially like its ability to adjust on-the-fly for drift and the microadjustment for cutting veneers without having to rejoint after each cut.

How involved is its installation?

jeff, no mention of price? a bandsaw feeder is about 1200 bucks.....

Tod, I understand the Driftmaster runs about $275.

In recreational boating, a "Boat Buc" is each $1000 spent on upgrading and maintaining one's boat. I've discovered, unfortunately, that it's real easy to spend Boat Bucs.

I suppose a "Wood Buc" might be equivalent to $100. So in those terms, the Driftmaster costs nearly three Wood Bucs!
 
jeff, for one "boat-buck" more you could get the feeder? i use one and have never gotten as good a results by hand.....if you`re sawing lotsa veneer they are worth looking at.....tod
 
jeff, co-matic makes all the feeders for delta/powermatic/griz/sunhill and some others.......steff makes a better unit for more money.....
mine is a yellow co-matic........tod
