How easy is this to set up for multiple same-size cuts? Also, any difference from the 350 other than size?

I'm not sure what you're asking exactly, but the unit only cuts one mat at a time. You can set up the 'guides' to cut one mat after another as long as each mat is the same size & cut.

This is from another user and it is correct. DW735X 13" vs DW734 12.5" 22 days ago There are several differences. The 734 is a lower end machine that is like the Delta, Ridgid and several other similar models. It does have three cutters versus two for the other ones, which is a plus. It has a capacity that is 1/2 longer, which is a slight plus. It has a more efficient dust removal system which includes a fan to blow out the dust. It is an overall beefier machine that is designed for more of a semi-pro environment. It also has two feed speeds, which is nice for rough work and for finish work. For me, the biggest plus, and the deciding factor, was that I could buy professional quality carbide knives for the 735. Not that I cut so much wood, but carbide lasts forever and just works so much better than the disposable steel blades.

I believe theres a kit for joining the two... but the price for 2 4 ft tracks plus the kit was higher than the big track... so i just got the big track. Anyways.. i was mainly going to cut sheets the long way. Ive cut 3/4" mdf and it goes through it like butter. Ive also used it for dressing rough cut maple. Track saw one edge then put it through the table saw for the opposite edge.. anyways it burned on the first cut.. so i took another 16th off and it was a nice smooth cut. Hope this helps

Sounds like this saw may be just what you need. It's very simple to operate and the blades don't easily break or come loose. It has more than adequate power for most wood projects. I actually used it mostly on fiberboard but some wood and a little bit of thin sheet metal. It did everything I asked of it except cut a straight cut which all depends on the operator. If this is in your price range I think you'll be quite satisfied with it.

I think so. I've only used one machine before this one and it was a really easy transition. This machine has a lot of options and settings, but they're easy to figure out. It just takes a read through of the manual and you should be good.

Only one blade option with this one, so no, no different sizes, shapes, or grating.

Cutter is a nice piece to have, not exactly sure how many sheets it will cut at one time, as I have not counted them, but it should be able to handle what it says, one note is, the more paper you have in, the more pressure you need to put when cutting, also you may have to do multiple passes. I still prefer this model of the other type where the bar goes up and down, those we had at work and after 6 months the blade needs adjustment and more times than not would need replacement. This unit lasts longer and is easy to change a blade when needed.

I had a biscuit cutter for years and found it difficult to use so I seldom did. I bought a Festool Domino Joiner and it is a dream. I've had it about two years now and have used multiple times for joinery I would never had attempted before. Why, because it is easy. Set up, marking, cutting the slot it is a piece of cake. I liken it to my Apple computer, it just works! It's a lot of money but that part wears off long before the usefulness and ease of use. Buy it!

Very Very easy. Its just a simple bolt holding the blade. They give you the wrench to remove the screw so you don't your own tools. I have changed the blade with the blade everyone was buying along with this set on Amazon. It did not cut as well. This blade suprisingly lasted for hundreds of marble cuts. I would still use it again. I found to make the cleanest cut, always have a lot of water in the trough. Which is my only negative about this set (the trough is rather shallow and needs refilling)

Sure. You can make whatever dimenion you wish. Just set it up to make the cut, turn the log and set your next cut whatever size you desire. I recommend the use of no less than a mid to high power (more horsepower the better) chainsaw and a nice sharp chain.

Get the cutterpillar. The way it's designed it sharpens as it cuts so it never needs replacing. It's VERY pricey and something you'd need a designated cutting station for since it's also very heavy. People who own it swear by it, but I prefer something that I can stow away as I don't want to lose counter space to a trimmer.

I needed 12 but only brought one just to see if it would work. As it turns out I had the same problem. I needed to cut a little more than you but decided against it since it I wasn't sure how it would affect it. Been looking around unsuccessfully for a shorter one.

We put the plastic divider at the point where the size changes and use that as the stop for the bread. Pull the sliced bread out and move the loaf forward against the stop to complete slicing. It is true that you can slice only half a loaf at a time, but we slice 10 to 12 loaves (to make 80 to 100 sandwiches) and find the amount of time "wasted" is minimal. Three of the volunteers who work with us have since purchased this slicer to use at home. I talked to a carpenter friend of mine and he said it would be possible to set up the rods for uniform slice size, but it would involve removing the unwanted rods, reaming out new slots, and gluing the rods back in. He said (I think jokingly) that it would be easier and more cost effective to get 2 or 3 slicers and glue the ends together if moving the loaf was so annoying. We found the best way to get efficient with the slicer was for 2 or 3 people to work together, critiquing each others techniques. For example, I was cutting cross-handed, and simply turning the slicer around so my dominant (right) hand held the knife and my subordinate (left) hand pushed the bread against the backstop more than doubled my speed and cut way down on my frustration, uneven slices, etc.

I am highly impressed with the surface quality. I nicked one cutter and it was quite simple to rotate it 90 degrees to get a new cutting edge. I found a set of 4 sided carbide cutters here on Amazon that are a direct replacement for the stock cutters, but have not had occasion to change them out yet. I would buy the same planer again.

The plastic dogs do just fine. I've made about 200 or so cuts ranging anywhere from 4" to 15" inches. I'm sure you'll notice a difference between gas and electric but if you try to over-bite, you might bog down the 400E. I'm putting a video review up on YouTube of this saw today. Poulan got this design right!

We bought and own a 110X150 in. and it works really well. If you want to make it small I would take it to a taylor and have them make straight cuts. Hope this helps.

I should get the VersaCut by friday, so could give you a better comparison of the two by than. But as far as rk3441k, I would not call it an upgrade to the Versacut, it is just a different mini saw. It is a great little tool. Think of this one as a mini worm-drive circular saw. The main differences between the two are: RK3441k can make deeper cuts and has a larger blade (you can cut 2x4s), versa cut max depth is 1-1/16. Rk3441k is 5 amp, versa cut is 4. With rk3441k you can make bevel cuts, with versa cut you "can't". One has laser the other one does not. But I really would not care for it not being on the rk3440k, with the blade being on the left, it is easy to see where you are going. The last big difference is versa having the plungeble shoe. People seem to either love or hate that feature. I am planing on using it to hopefully ease up making plunge cuts in odd, cramped spots. RK3441k will probably be getting more use even after I get the versa cut. It is just more versatile.
