I've looked all over these forums and found so many different threads similar to mine, but with this being the largest purchase I've ever made, I feel the need to start a current, up to the minute, customized thread just for me!:D
So, as many of you might know from reading other posts of mine, I own an antique restoration shop. I'm currently using a $300 Dewalt jobsite table saw which I've wanted to upgrade for years, and business is finally allowing me to do just that - so a real table saw, I must have.
I'm considering the SS PCS31230-TGP252 http://ift.tt/1MYiOIX
and the Unisaw equivalent(or close to) http://ift.tt/1MYiN7Y
Both seem like nice saws(although I've not used or even seen in person, either of them), but I am sort of leaning toward the unisaw because it's $500 less if I'm willing to be mindful of my fingers.
I don't, or rather *won't* spend more than $3000. Are there any candidates in which I'm foolish not to consider? Also, if you think my choices aren't good ones, just say so - I come here when I need serious advice;).
Also, is it reasonable to say that I won't be using my miter saw much any more because I can how use all sorts of sleds and jigs? I'm just finding more ways to justify the purchase, and "a tool that does the work of two" is a great justification! I use the table saw on a daily basis, and I'm tired of the Dewalt being so small. I frequently need to cut stock larger than 20" and it always irritates me in that way. is 52" ridiculous though? Would 36" be just fine?
Your thoughts?
