SplinterGroup ..... So if you were looking for a "forever" set, Rockler or Bessy?
Fortunately I have enough and don't need more so a decision is not required... however, if you offer me a cask-o-vino, for my use I would select the Bessey... they cost more, but are heavier duty and as I have made an extensive investment into the MFT style tabletops, the Bessey are TSO loc-dog friendly.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
