Harry I think that an 8" is too small. I have a 9" (and a 14") and my 9" is too small for neck blanks IMO. Can it be done? Sure with some struggle but you are pushing the tool and that can be unsafe. |

I have a 10"/350 watts (0.47 HP) which handles necks blanks well - even Wenge, Padauk (cut from 6"x3"), Mahogany etc. no problem. Also used it to resaw sides. |

I have a 10" Craftsman/Rikon and it handles neck blanks just fine. I just cut a 1 1/2" Ash body blank for an electric, no problems.... |

I did it with a Delta 9". I think it was 1/3hp. It worked, but the cuts needed much clean up. Pat |

Sure with some struggle but you are pushing the tool and that can be unsafe. We have brand for 9" here just the same max cutting depth 80mm with 8" brand, maybe I must go to 10" or 12" thanks Hesh
