You better add another 0 to the end of your budget lol

 

This, so what saw would that be, any ones you had in mind

 

Add 3 more and i could have close to that whole room

 

The one company I worked for had each crew outfitted with dewalt table saws and also had a full shop available. I think in the 5years I was there we used the shop equipment maybe 3 times

All that equipment just sat there

 

Will you need to move it ? or will it be a stationary shop saw ?

 

It depends what you are doing . If you build your own cabinets , I would want a more accurate saw than the DeWalt portables . They are great for what they are meant for .

 

this is a good question. I didn't plan on moving mine so i picked up this one when it was on sale.

 

Yup I agree. A friend of mine that does custom stairs has an old beat up rigid tabe saw he uses all the time. Couldn't believe it when he set up at our job.

The sides of the saw were missing chunks of plastic, the table was beat to hell, the guide was held together with tape and screws. His stairs were friggin nice though

 

That is a nice saw .

 

Stationary, but were still talking around 500$. No wheels, no flimsy collapsable legs. Big solid table saw that has a smooth surface to glide the wood to its destiny

 

No doubt . The best finish carpenter I know has some old beat up gear , but he pulls off beautiful work .

Problem for me is I am not the only one using the tools I buy .

 

are you willing to go to $750? look at grizzly.com

 

with a freud blade it cuts like a hot knife though butter.

 

Find an old 220v , belt driven Delta cast tablesaw used .

 

Grizzly makes great tools

 

Next stipulation, i have gift cards to sears so i would get it from them. They do carry a few different brands tho.

That delta is exactly what im lookig for, adam what did that run you on sale?

 

That's why I finally decided to buy all my own gear now. Got tired of using other peoples beat up stuff

I like to take care of tools but my old boss didn't really care as much. He'd leave his 12" dewalt sliding mitre saw outside all the time

The guides were so screwed that it was rough sliding it

 

Delta = Dewalt/black & decker/porter cable

 

Yep , same exact tool , different colour

 

We have a big ass Delta at work, had it for about 10 years so far without an issue, used mostly for cutting aluminum and plastics.
