Milwaukee has several models that would work.
I a good part of spent the weekend cleaning my shop. Nothing too amazing, but something we've all done =)
I bought some lumber core red oak from HD a few weeks ago. It was decent stability-wise, but the quality of the good face was a lot lower than the one I bought at my local full-service lumberyard.
...
The new SawStop I bought last week showed up with the blade almost 3 mm out of sync with the left miter slot. It was extremely noticeable, and a great disappointment when buying a $3K saw.

I have an Incra 1000-HD, and I think it's great. I just did the same as the OP today, cutting out the pieces for six cabinet drawers and then assembling them.
To match up with some very old (1950's) cabinet doors in my parent's home I bought some unusual plywood yesterday. It was really spendy, and I'm wondering if I got robbed or not. Comments welcomed....
Good deal on the Unisaw, looks like a good one especially for $300.
Fence wise, try the one that's on it and see if you like how it behaves. You're used to your Accusquare, so I bet you end up...
I'd probably build a separate room for the DC - I bet it's amazingly loud. That being said you have an amazing deal there. $2? Really?
Until my recent Sawstop purchase, I had never paid full price for any of my major tools. Everything was used and bought via CL. Saving 50% over the cost of a new tool is not terribly hard to do,...
I use the Rockler system, works very well for me.
First off, welcome to the Creek =) Always good to see new people.
Secondly I don't own a planer like that, so I can't help you evaluate it specifically. Sorry. That being said most Grizzly...
I have an Incra fence that is definitely moving from the old to the new saw, so yes I'll be passing on the Sawstop fence. Should save some money there =)
A few throat plates and a spare brake or...
My previous saw has died the final death, and my wife told me that she wants the next saw to be a Sawstop for safety reasons. Not that I'm complaining or anything =)
I also know the prices are...
http://www.youngbloodlumber.com/ works, they'll have literally everything but can be a little spendy.
Another option that I have personally dealt with is http://www.logs-to-lumber.com. He's an...
I built my first ever box assembly using box joints. I know it's not too amazing compared to some, but my router is a foreign tool to me and I'm still learning to use it properly =)
I built a box. Not a great box, but it's the first small box I've ever built =) It is perfectly sized to hold my digital angle gauge.
I have the Ridgid magnetic featherboard ($30, HD) and it works very well. Extremely strong grip on my cast iron tops, and when it's not in use I stick it to the cabinet where it'll be out of the...
A co-worker of mine put in a 'Tigerwood' deck (http://tigerdeck.com/technical-data/), which is a commercial brand name referring to Astronium wood. Apparently it's from cashew trees (?) and very...
I completed the last of the 30 birdhouses my wife needed for a project in her Kindergarten classroom. I have to say it was a fun project, as I experimented a little with each one, adding a small...
A friend of mine (Craig Dols) and I built this mobile base for about $12, and it works pretty well. You can see pics in his original thread here: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=135058...
Very nice. I can't afford the space for the permanent outfeed tables that you have since my rig fits in the garage and has to be mobile, but I also have the 96" rails on my Incra and it's a truly...
IMO the 'bag' is worthless.
I built a box around my miter saw and then plugged a 4" DC port into it. Works pretty well at keeping anything from escaping, although I do get heavier residue...
I would build an assembly table, preferably one you can move around. It's a real PITA to put projects together when you don't have anything to assemble them on. Once I had that done, THEN I'd start...
I've never done a M-T joint yet, you give me hope for the future =)
Right now I'm still cranking out Birdhouses for my wife's Kindergarten class. The end is in sight tho, I have 25 done and...
