: Actually looking at Ebay you can actually get decent deals on these

Hi. Bill.
I'm using a DeWalt radial at the moment. (borrowed), I'm not a great fan but beggars can't be choosers!
I think that careful use of finger boards helped make the best of a bad or at least indiferent machine.
Will be moving in a few weeks time. Then I'll be in the same boat as you. First build the workshop, then fit it out.
Then I'll buy myself a decent table saw. Any suggestions?
There are several on the market over here with wheels for moving out of the way when not in use.
My inrun and outrun tables were very temporary, (crude) affairs.
I just made sure that the levels were good and didn't provide catches to stop the strips from running.
My head's full of other things at the moment but with one boat half finished and another fermenting in the mind.
I'll be glad to get back to building, and on the water.
Les C.
