Which bench / table saw?
« on: April 05, 2018, 02:42:44 PM »
Ok so after 20 plus years without one I am getting the urge to spend. I have always used a bandsaw as most of my cutting was for turning, now getting the need for a compact but accurate sawbench. So many of the reviews for 10" saws are pretty derogatory on build quality and accuracy I am at a loss where to start.
Space is limited, but I would rather have a bigger footprint than a small saw which does not do the job. I like to hear from users rather than new purchase reviews, I am open to any suggestions as I would rather get this right first time.

search ebay for a good old fashioned cast iron saw bench. you do find some smaller items like these occasionally.


if you are interested i am selling a saw but it may be too big for your shop.


what is the largest table size you can accommodate?
