The SCMS is certainly very practical and useful for all those house building jobs. You can get a table saw later.

Absolutely, and I really need to finish the workshop first so I've got somewhere to put the table saw :wink:

..tough choice....and I suppose it depends on the room you have. I have had a mitre saw for years, (recently "upgraded" it to a larger diameter). At oe time it was my "main" worktool as I was shed building and needed to cut long lengths at various angles and a table saw would not have been appropriate. However now I am trying to repair my rotten conservatory I could really do with a table saw and planer for chopping "planks" of redwood to size. Problem is I don't really have the room, and a good quality table saw cost a lot more than a good mitre saw, and is not as "portable". So I guess it comes down mainly to what type of work you want to do. If I had the room I would probably get a reasonable quality table saw and a more "middle of the range mitre saw....decisions decisions.....good luck with yours....

(I would also really like a planner thicknesser as well....and also a bigger better quality band saw.....and I could really do with a bigger and better router table....trouble is I would need to move house to fit them all in...and then I would not have the money to pay for them...?)

Thanks Stevebod, I think I've made the right choice by choosing the SCMS ahead of anything else. As with you, I would like a table saw, and maybe later a planer/thicknesser once I'm more adventurous :wink:

Tablesaw all the way - as long as it is a half decent one. Which means you won't be spending any less than £300. Make a sledge for cross cuts.

The only issue is safety really. If you haven't used one before, do your research to keep safe.

Thanks Bodgers, no doubt I'll get one in the near future - as soon as the w/shop is completed.
