I chose to buy the M2 kit because it was available Amazon prime and I am impatient. I have been debating on just using the complete kit and building the stock frame using the included brackets or doing it once and being done. In the long run I plan on building a metal frame because I live on the gulf of Mexico and humidity is terrible…
I’m hoping to have it almost operational this weekend (if it shows up Saturday)…
But looking around there are so many different frame designs and 100 different options. Some chains just hang, some use nails, some use guides, pulleys, springs, counter weights, 10’, 12’, or 12", 24", 36", and the list goes on…
Can someone hold my hand and tell me what is the absolute best? I’m thinking 36" and 12’ since I want to be able to cut full size sheets. But what is the best frame and setup? Springs vs counter weights? Best options for sled weight because the brick are hideous?
What do you wish you would have done differently? Or what did you do right with “no ragets”? And explain why thats the best?
