So far the only machines I have are an 18in band saw and a thickness planer. Have been getting by fine so far doing everything else by hand.
I have some long (>2ft) sliding dovetail sockets to cut now though, and can't stop thinking about what a pain it would be to do by hand, and how easy it would be with a table saw.
Some other things might be much easier too, like I could probably cut rabbets for picture frames in a fraction of the time it takes to do by hand.
I was thinking one of those folding ones so it could be stored without taking too much space. What's the general consensus on these things, or is there one?
Thanks!
