If Carlsberg Made Table Saws

[deema]

Well, they are rare, but one has come up on eBay! I don’t own or know anything about this saw, so that’s my initial disclaimer.
I have one of these wonderful saws as my own user. IMO they are probably the best saw for its size ever made. It’s a jack of all trades, the real Swiss Army knife of table saws, it can do everything; with a few compromises like any Swiss Army knife. They fold up to be really very neat and not that big, the paint is unbelievable quality, and the thickness of the steel cabinet / size of everything is in a different league to anything else of this size I’ve worked on, which is why I have one as my workhorse. Blade change is one of the easiest, and after refurbing around five of these, nothing much to go wrong (other than the micro adjust cog which can get worn). The stupid low price these usually sell for is a mystery to me, probably because people don’t know of them / appreciate the quality of the machine. When ever anyone asks me to recommend a saw, this is the machine I point them to. It’s more than capable of being used commercially, ie turned in a run continuously for 8 hours every day.

If I wasn't looking at scaling down, I'd have that in a moment, and make space, would go nicely with my 16" SCM L-invincible planer thicknesser in matching colour's.

OMG if your PT has the parallelogram system for the fence that is my dream PT. I’ve come close to buying one on eBay but got pipped. They are I think rarer than the saws……second thoughts, what a terrible awful PT, nobody in their right mind would buy one…..so don’t bid against me next time one pops up!!

Take the outrigger off and you can fit one of these in a single garage. No you can't realistically crosscut 8x4's , but you can rip almost anything you're ever likely to want to.

It'd totally fit in a 2 car garage.

Brill sawwith that crosscut, how do I know? It’s pretty much the same as my SCM combination mc!
Actually looked again and that’s a bigger saw than mine 10”

Yup, I only paid.. no not going to say, but when I start winding down, in a year or so, if you haven't found one, you can have first dibs.

@HOJ Thank you. The last one I saw on eBay, I only noticed after it had sold for pennies…..I’d been away! I was, well let’s just say disappointed

The saw can cross cut 50” and this one has the optional scribe cutter too. It can cut around 5 1/2” thick material with the latest bkade it can take with the standard riving knife attached. The trunions are just massive.

I have the manuals for the mach8me and attached the brochure. A fully specked saw like the one advertised is around 0.8 tonne in weight!

Look here and scroll to post #12 to see inside one of these.The base cabinet is made of 8-10mm thick steel plate. Nothing more modern really compares to the brute strength of the Si15.

How would it compare to a wadkin PP I wonder? I like my PP but I’m facing a spendy refurb to get it cutting well…
