In a British shed* ? as a first table saw ? on a £300 budget ?heimlaga":w6it682n said:What about a secondhand Wadkin-Bursgreen?
The title of the thread is "Budget table saw"; the Wadkins are magnificent machines and can be picked up for "bargain" prices, but just moving one looks to be a major and potentially costly undertaking. Restoring a cheap secondhand one is hardly a task suitable for someone's first table saw, a lot are three phase and converting one to single phase might blow the budget alone.
*Most 'sheds' in the UK are pretty lightweight construction, a big cast iron saw would just go through the floor (assuming you could get one in to start with).
