Hi all,
Does anybody have experience with a Martin T78, their non-tilting arbor saw? I'm looking at an '86 model for my new shop when I move in a few months for a good price ($2,000), but currently thinking through the workarounds needed on the rare occasions I tilt my blade on my current slider. The cost savings are substantial to buy the T78 for my new shop and just sell my existing Martin T71 (300 miles away from my new shop) rather than paying for the rentals or someone else to move it for me.
I'm attracted to the improved dust collection (from what I've heard) as well as the narrower clearance between table and carriage. My current thought is just to keep my cabinet saw on hand for beveling as necessary and putting the Martin on small blocks to flush it up with the SawStop's table so they can sit back to back.
Any and all insight welcome! I love my current Martin and love the idea of getting some cash out of it for an equally stout and well-built saw closer to my new location.
