    I sure like to buzz wood!

    My 1020 something saw need replaced after 28 years of work.
    So I bought a used saw. It came with a nice blade!

    The saw cleaned up good in back of the truck on the ride home with all the wind the other day.

    That is one quality saw right there! I'm sure you know that, and I'm sure you got a great deal on it too!
    One things for sure, J.Walker, you may not have enough room to hoard table saws- they take up a lot of
    landscape:rofl: :lol: But then again, maybe ya got room, I dunno....

    J Walker, I have been a Grizzly, Delta and Powermatic guy my entire life. About 7 months ago I came across a Jet contractors saw that was neglected. I have a two level workshop and I wanted a small saw on the second level so I didn't have to run downstairs. That Jet cleaned up very nice and works great. I have now become a believer in Jet tools. The other nice thing is that it was relatively light to move upstairs. Every bit as good as the old Delta contractors saw. I am going to get a different fence the one on my saw is not great.

    That is real nice. I like those rolling bases to move the power tools around.

    I'm still not sold on the roll around base. It may need some welding to support it better. This saw has the cast iron wings so there is some weight here. I have three layers of 3/4" plywood under the saw to raise the table saw up, it sits so low for me.
    The rip fence is great.
