I'd pretty much convinced myself that I could live without a table saw, and if I did need one, I'd get a SawStop. This week I came across an Inca 259 10" tilting-table saw with mortiser that's causing me to rethink things, and I'd like opinions on how to proceed.
A little background--15 years ago I was really into woodworking, but was limited by space and funds. After a few life changes and some time, I find myself with the ability to put together a shop and get back into it. Back when I was into woodworking, Inca was an unreachable goal. It was the ne plus ultra of small equipment--precise enough for turning out the highest quality work, and with a price to match, but small enough to fit into hobbyist shops.
Fast forwarding, I've got a good band saw, a 12" jointer/planer with helical knives, and enough Festool stuff to think I don't need a table saw. Now that I've found this quirky little green machine, however, I'm thinking it sure would be nice to have a little table saw, not to mention the mortising table (which I'm sure could be duplicated by the CMS).
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Evan
