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! .
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 But then again, maybe ya got room, I dunno.... What other sorts of woodworking tools, machinery ya got that stand out to you?
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.
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.
my wide 52'' cabinet saw has a built in mobile base ,for insurance there is a wood cabinet under the fence side and on top there is a couple boards to support it and prevent tipping
