I am trying to decide what length of sliding table I should get when I order my sliding table saw.
I am a hobbiest and have a basement shop that is getting smaller as I add more tools. An 81-inch slider would fit, but would be the maximum I could go without major surgery to the basement. I now use Festool saws to cut up my sheet goods. But, sometimes a little trimming is necessary. A 51-inch sliding table would be adequate for most of my needs.
So, would I regret getting a 51-inch slider instead of the 81-inch? With the 51-inch, I might not even get the Outrigger Table which would save shop space.
Thanks for your thoughts.
