    Equipment is all grizzly

    12" 3hp jointer
    19" 3hp bandsaw
    3hp cyclone

    all other standard tools and such are in the cabinets or in the shop island.

    Island is 2 4'x8' pieces that can be joined. All equipment is on Zambus leveling casters. Radial armsaw is a old dewault, and is on a pivot in the top.

    I assume that the wall with no cupboards is a garage type door so that you can feed long boards to the table saw. However do you have enough room on the outfeed side of the saw?

    Neat drawings.

    Does the cabinet wall opposite the TS access door swing open or can it be removed? You will need to get in that door to do maintenance on the saw, clear obstructions from the DC port, etc.

    Otherwise, I like the TS cabinet. It and the big outfeed are similar to what I have around my saw.

    YES once that door is opened (that is where my blades and inserts will be) the board they are mounted on swings open to give me access to opening the motor cover to do maintenance.

    As a repair tech, your table saw enclosure is one I dread on service calls. Typically to change bearings or an arbor I take the top off to access the inside of the saw. I like to come in and get the job done quick and folks don't want to pay anymore than necessary. On some occasions I can work from the side without taking the top off but it's not the best way to do it and inspect everything inside the saw. When you set up shop, plan for eventual maintenance and repairs as you set up things. The extra time spent now will pay for itself later easily.

    The saw can be removed from the island in about 15 minutes. (the saw will be mounted on a thin piece of plastic that will allow it to slide on the torsion box onto a platform that its sitting on now
