This is very important if you will be using any table saw jigs, since most are made to fit this standard sized miter slot. They have the standard 3/4 X 3.8 miter slots and many of the newer saws don't seem to have this.
I don't know anything about the Bosch saw, but here are a few things about the Rockwell to use for comparison.īut the old Delta and Rockwell Contractor Saws are quite accurate and reliable. It also wouldn't be as easy to move around in the shop. I'm leaning toward thee Rockwell, but I figure I'd want to upgrade the fence which would bring it to the same cost as the Bosch. It's going at auction, but I'm guessing I can get it for $200-300 (which seems to be what it should be worth). Don't have the details yet, but looks like a 34-400 and has the blade guard and cast iron wings. I'm going to look at it next week, but from the pictures it looks like it's in great condition. However, I suspect I would grow out of this pretty quickly, and would be looking to upgrade as soon as I had more room.Ģ) An old Rockwell 10" Tilting Arbor (picture attached). Main selling point on this is to be able to collapse it and roll it out of the way. So as of now, I'm down to 2 options:ġ) Bosch 4100 with the stand. Though I could save more I'm not sure it would matter as I don't have the room for a cabinet saw at this point. At this point I'm on a budget of about $500-$600. I have a small home shop that I can get some stuff done in, but really need to add a table saw to do anymore.
I used to be able to use a large workshop with a nice cabinet saw, but unfortunately no longer have access. Equipped with the right blades, they can chew through a variety of woods and they can handle a vast range of cuts, from compound to dado cuts.Looking for some advice on buying a new table saw. Whether you are a professional cabinet maker, a carpenter, an experienced woodworker, a homeowner or a general contractor, a woodworking table saw remains the most important piece of woodworking machinery that you will have in your workshop.
