ITECH 1332 TABLE SAW. BETTER DEAL THEN THE FOX?

[Mike.C]

Heres another cast iron table saw which looks exactly the same as the Fox.

At £399 it seems a far better deal then Rutlands was charing (£499) but the problem is I do not think you get a sliding table with it.

But that may not matter to those members who have a small workshop, and so cannot use a table saw with a sliding table. Because now they can get the same cast iron saw that other members got in the last couple of weeks, but at £100 cheaper.

It seems that the Rutlands sale is now over so if you missed it and still want one, get over to Scott and Sargeant and bag what seems a bargain. If you do want the sliding table you could always buy it as an extra.

Whether you want a saw with a sliding table or not, £399 has got to be a great deal.

Cheers

Funnily enough I was looking at it myself earlier and came to the same conclusion. Couldn't even find it as an optional extra. If it really is the same as the Fox/Perform one I wonder if the sliding tables from those would fit. :-k
Looks like a solid machine though.

It is identical to the SIP and yes the sliding table will fit

Old,

Don't you just hate that? Thanks for pointing that out Old.

Sorry guys, Rutlands price was including the dreaded VAT and I just didn't think about it when I came across the Scott and Sargeant price.

Cheers

It looks like a Sip because it is a Sip. I bought mine from Scott and Sargeant some 18 months ago, why they label it iTECH I don't know. But I can assure everyone it is a Sip.

Probably because (as I understand it) SIP is an importer not a manufacturer, so S&S have just gone direct to the same Chinese maker.
