I have used Blum for years. They offer an almost unlimited range of options/features.
I put four of these on my workbench which is pretty heavy. I rarely need to move the work bench but when I do these casters work OK. It is kind of a pain to get down on the floor and turn the...
I agree with Frank Pratt's advice - get a SawStop PCS with the 1.75 hp motor. I would add that you should get the SawStop Industrial mobile base so that you can easily move the saw. The Industrial...
Get the SawStop Industrial base. It is much better than the Professional base.
I have a SS PCS and I love it. It is a very high quality saw with an excellent safety feature. I am also a pretty mature guy [79+years] and I want to keep all my current digets.
I agree with Steve - the SawStop Industrial Mobile Base is the best. I have been using mine for many years now under my SawStop table saw and it works great.
I wish that I had built a separate, dust proof, heated room [maybe 6X10 feet] for applying surface material like varnish , shellac etc. Now I cannot do anything else in my shop when finishes are...
Get a SawStop. They are very high quality and have their great safety feature. I have had one for about five years and would never get anything else that is available now.
From November through April - that is Winter here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula - about 20 hours per week. From May through October - that is summer up here- very little time in shop except for...
Sorry to hear that some of you have not had good experiences with Habitat ReStores. I have volunteered at one for many years and would suggest that if you are considering a donation but are not sure...

If you decide that you are serious about woodworking buy the best equipment that you can afford - whether it's a table saw or a clamp. This approach will minimize your repurchasing better equipment.
Save your money and buy a SawStop you will not regret it. High quality saw and the safety feature is worth the extra few hundred. IMO.
Just got my new JessEm MITE-R-EXCEL II model 07150 miter gauge. Like everything I've purchased from JessEm over the years - it is beautiful. Easy to assemble and true up and looks great on my...
I have subscribed to Fine Woodworking for many years and am having the same reaction. Maybe part of our problem is that we have learned most of the woodworking tricks over the years [now if I can...
Just got a notice from JessEm about their new Mite-R-Excel II miter gauge. like most JessEm stuff this looks like a really fine upgrade to their old model. $269 intro price. Any one else seen this?
My rule when buying wood working tools is always by the best that you can afford. In this case buy a Professional grade SawStop. You will not be sorry.
Get the most expensive SawStop that you can afford.
I have dust collection but I always wait to clean up the shop [floor and tops of everything] until I finish a project. The final clean up means that the project is done.
Check these guys out. I buy all my wood from them. They specialize in figured hardwood - www.bellforestproducts.com
Very sorry to hear about your accident Bruce. I do not want to seem insensitive but based upon what you have told us I believe that a SawStop would have saved you from almost all of your injuries.
I use a 23 gauge micro pin installed on each corner with my pneumatic pinner and TiteBond III and have never had a problem. Most of my frames are 8X10.
Look carefully at SawStop. They are fine table saws with a great safety feature.
Save,borrow or steal another $1000 and buy a SawStop.
Not only is a SawStop safer than a non SawStop table saw, the SawStop is also a beautiful, high quality saw. My sincere advice - Buy a SawStop.
