Only takes a min to change mine. I think if I was a high output shop I'd just run 2 different saws with blades set. Like I have my die grinders. Haven't swapped a collet/disc support in years.
It doesn't take but a minute or two to swap - but it's annoying. I want to take a piece to a machine - whack it - and move on.

Obviously for a commercial shop - having a couple saws isn't that big of a deal - but for the most part - on Lat G we're a bunch of home garage guys....

I've found that in my own situations -- a guy can't have too many ways to whack stuff -- and stick stuff together.... and bend stuff. It allows you to think in a different way. My thinking is never "how the heck am I going to build X" -- it's just "how do I want to build X"... without limits. That frees your mind up to just gettin' 'er done and makin' it kool.
