[andycorleone]

Hi everyone, I have been following this forum for the last few weeks, I'm about to buy my first table saw my short list is the follow
-Axminster BTS10PP £184
-Jet JTS-10 £169
-Ryobi ETS-1525SC £170
Or
-Triton Workcenter 2000 with Triton Saw about £250 Second Hand

My intention is to Make Fine Cabines in the future. I know that any of those machine will help me for that but I would like to know if I will be good in this mather :? before expend more money in better machine,

There is any noticiable difference in the pression and Build Quailty of those machines?

Many Thanks

Hi Andy,

Welcome to the forum.

As I don't have any of the saws you list I cannot give any guidance, but I am sure you will get some in due time. 8)

Benvenuto Andy,

Triton if it must be one of those three.

I'll have to tell you what everyone told me when I looked at buying a cheaper table saw - save up for a better one!

You may find that the Triton would be fine for your needs as may the ryobi but people say you can soon outgrow these saws. unless you can find a bargain on ebay I would save either for a SIP, ITECH, Axy or clone cast iron at least and it may cost you a bit more but you won't pay twice.

I agree with Selly you will regret not buying a good table saw it's the heart of most workshops I rarely make anything without my trusty TS getting involved in some way...

It will make cutting wood a pleasure not a chore!... :wink:

But is not a garage too small for a proper bench saw like the sip?

I have the Axminster cast iron table saw in my garage, yes it is a bit large but if everything is organised and tidy it's fine, I used to have a small saw and struggled to cut large pieces accurately.

The boards that are by the saw are now sitting underneath the saw, the planer is now where the boards are shown, the set of drawers are now where the little combi is and the combi is somewhere in Notts.

The saw and planer are both on wheels so they can be moved.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I persuaded my wife to give me some of her money, mind you I had to promise some new furniture :lol:

It's worth getting a decent saw as it is the most important bit of kit you will purchase.

Hold on a minute Martin, as the man said he only has a garage. Where will he park the Range Rover?

 

[motownmartin]

The same place I put mine, in the toybox :lol:

I have had the Axminster for about 8 years. It had pretty good review at the time, and in it's class I would suggest it is probably quite good. But things have changed a lot since then - a decent quality ci would have cost several times as much at the time.

But my Axminster will be retired soon - not in favour of a better tablesaw, but in favour of a circular saw/guide rail system. For me it offers considerable advantages in safety and in space over a ci tablesaw, although I don't suppose it is for everyone. If I were to start again I would go this route, though.

My own is the EZ smart system, but there are offerings from Festool and Mafell too. Perhaps someone can provide links.

Hi Andy

Welcome to the forum.

At the price point that you are looking at you will find that repeatability of cut will be hit and miss. You will probably have to check your fence before each cut.

Cheers
