Hi everyone
I am looking to upgrade to a cast iron table saw for my home workshop. I've found the above 8" versions by Charnwood & Axminster, and wondered if you had any advice as to which may be the better choice, or possibly any alternative suggestions. Apologies as I am unable to post the links.
I saw both at the North Of England Woodworking show, and was pretty impressed by the Axminster. It was unbelievably quiet. I didn't get as hands on with the Charnwood as it was really busy at their stand.
The Axminster would probably cost around £100 more with the stand and sliding carriage, and the Charnwood's cutting width capacity is over double!
Is there a brand, and particular saw that i'm missing, that may offer me a far better option?
Thanks in advance for your replies
