Subject: Re: Wood working equipment for  making frames
 
You can do wonderful things with a table saw, but the setup is time
consuming, as the blade hieghts, fence positions, length stops, etc., must
be adjusted for each different cut. A few simple jigs and be used with a
table saw to make setup and material positioning easier.
 
A commercial manufacturer will have several pieces of equipment that can be
set up for individual operations. For example, rather than making many
passes to cut the dovetails in the boxes, a machine with a long shaft with
multiple cutters can used to cut dovetails in a single pass.. Commercial
woodworking machinery can be easily configured to make hive components.
 
Compared to fine cabinetry, making behives is fairly simple.
