Title: 'chopper' alternatives
Post by: deemery on October 16, 2026, 09:52:35 AM
MRH has a great review of a 'wood miter' tool, comparing it to the NWSL Chopper and the Ulitmation Slicer:  https://online.fliphtml5.com/buups/yzsc/index.html#p=153  In particular, this article actually measures the result from using each of those tools, along with explanations why tool geometry yields such different results.  So even if you're not interested in a relatively expensive tool to cut sticks, the article is worth reading to understand how those tools work.

I was reluctant to buy the NWSL chopper. Chopper is old school and not a perfect tool but is awesome for gang cutting boards.

Thanks for sharing the NEW digs Dave! ;D

This is my modified chopper.
I've used it for decades.
Picture should explain but ask if you need info.
