There are RAS's and RAS's. I used to have a RIDGID unit, same as the contemporary Craftsman saw. It was prone to climb over the cut. I didn't like it, and after it shot towards me one last time, it...

Longarm radial arm saw. A 5 minute job. A table saw is not the right tool for that, IMHO.
I don't like the Reeves drives on the VS tools that have them. I remotored my 1460 with a 1HP 3phase motor with VFD. If you already have a 1460, which is highly regarded, that might be a route for...
Well, naturally. It's your train set and you've worked hard for decades at it. Not to worry, I'll buy Shop Fox :)
I've had a few Grizzly & Shop Fox tools, and generally find them to be excellent. I just HATE the paint job! The Polar Bear and Anniversary versions address this, and obviously ShopFox. But the...
I get what Doug is saying, I've had the same. It's nothing to do with rotating pictures on his computer.
If you take a series of pictures, some of which are with the camera vertical, others...
Have you got a small bench/table/cart? Get rid of that, put the baby on wheels and replace the cart. Then, that day when you think you need three saws for a job, you'll have it. Job done.
Stealth gloat on the Hammer? :)
Mel, you've just proved my point. Imperial measurement is widely accepted in the US. July 4th is specific to the US.
I'm not lobbying either way, as I said, I grew up with both. I used metric...
I use both Imperial and Metric, I am of the generation that grew up with both. Whichever is the most appropriate for the task. The maths of it are absolutely elementary, whichever system one uses,...
I used to have a TS3660, almost the same. It did well for me. I made a simple router table wing out of laminated 2x2, drilled a hole in it for the router bit, and three holes for the mounting screws....
Is it the April edition?
Amazon. There were only a couple left when I ordered. I can't use it just yet, as I am in the throes of building my router cabinet on the end of my table saw, but I needed to order it to see how big...
I used 2" and a reducer at the guard. Works fine. The reducer also acts as a quick-connect, although that wasn't the original intention.
Grizzly/ShopFox casters from Amazon. Inexpensive and well made. Huge range. "Free" delivery (if you have Prime).
Flatness is king, as I have discovered.
I'm done pussyfooting around. I ordered the BenchDog lift to go in my BenchDog cast iron extension wing, on the basis that the other lifts also had...
I wouldn't bother. It doesn't look like there's enough blades on it.
Here's the Accuhead:

Julian - I think you have reinforced my point. If you can sell a widget for X, then that it what that widget is worth. If you think a widget is worth X and won't take less, then it is not worth X...
The '03 truck is worth a residual value, as long as it runs, that is a bit higher than the scrap value. That is because the useful life of it has been worked out. For every 15-year old F-150 you see...
The reality is that it is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If they are looking at buying it and keeping it for 20+ years, then it doesn't really matter what it costs, within reason. If on...
Can I vote 4 times? I have bought 4 table saws since 2006, the latest being a Sawstop.
The saw is a Sawstop 3HP PCS. I'm sure it is aligned correctly. I'm not saying I have a problem, just that the WWII doesn't stand out too much from the run of the mill blades I have.
You're bang on the money there Phil. I moved to a bigger shop, and realised that the 4" ductwork I had before just wasn't cutting it. That much was evident when I disassembled it for the move and got...
I have one (40T TK WWII), but to be fair I was a little underwhelmed by it. It is certainly a nice blade, but for 3x the cost of the blades I had been using (RIDGID Titanium, Freud Diablo), the cut...
And the step after that is to get a bigger dust collector with 6inch or larger intake. And there's a lot of steps after that :)
The table saw should be easy to contain the dust, the router needs a...
