Title says it all really...
a little context..
As I've said before, my shop is tiny, real small, therefore I need to temper desire with reason; I need capability in a small footprint without sacrificing build quality.
Capacity wise, I'm looking for "reasonable"... whatever that may be.. I'd love an 18" or 21" but can neither afford the shop space nor cost.. That said, it needs to be capable of taking the place of my table saw; I need to loose it to make room for a proper handraulic bench...
It needs to be sturdy, yet light enough to move around the shop when fitted with suitable castors; when not in use I need to stash it in a corner.
I reckon features such as tilting table aren't nearly as important as a dead accurate cut; this has to be my "go to" saw as anything it can't handle will need to be cut with the sidewinder or with handraulics.
As well as the above, I need a god manufacturer, excellent supplier and exemplary back up; this machine needs to meet my needs for quite some time before I can provide some back up...
I'm open to suggestions...
Ohh.. for the record... I won't be looking to fit a dado blade to this one...
