Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

Spotted that tonight in Amazon catalog. Looks pretty awesome along with the $149 blade price. Think Hitachi stuff is pretty strong.
I have had one for 15 yrs. It still cuts true despite the abuse it has taken, It is a beast, hard to move around [I keep it in the shop these days ].
Use one owned by a stair builder. It is accurate and strong. It is heavy and clumsy to move, but it does an accurate job on wide stock.
I've had one since 1989 and it's still running on the same brushes. The brake is getting a little worn. Becuase of this, I don't let anybody use it but me. The biggest problem I've with it is the protractor tape is easy to knock off /bump when carring it. I've replaced it once and it has been ready for another replacement for quite a while.
Great for doing large crown
I would definately buy another
What are the main advantages over a 12" slider?
it's not a slider. It's mostly a depth of cut issue for large stock or cutting larger crown profiles."If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man." - Mark Twain
I find that it is alot easier to lay the crown in the "trough" the way it sits on the wall/ceiling, upside down, of course. This takes out the guessing as to the settings of compound angles. But then again, this is the way that I was taught. Easy to crown out a room, especially when the iside and outside corners are not 90 degrees
Thanks for the responses.
I have been doing a tall crown that is just a little too tall for my 12" delta. This happens once or twice a year, and every time I say I'm going to buy it.
Thanks again, Darren.
