'chopper' alternatives

[deemery]

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!

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

I didn't modify, I built my own design. It can use two razor blades or one box cutter kinfe.









Some samples of the 1/4" square wood cut.

Okay. Y'all are amazing. 

I just have two of the NWSL choppers. The old, non-metal one a the later metal one.

Nice Berne!
I use my table saw for the bigger stuff!

Dave, that looks like an interesting cutter, but I can't find a link to the company that makes and sells it.

Thanks Labdad. Speaking of table saws. I saw this on a U-tube video. One of these days I'll get around to building one.



Found the video. This guys made a lot of interesting tools. sort of a second hobby of mine.
