I'm considering getting a table saw. Without going into it, I can probably afford whatever I want. I am not, however, in a rush to spend money just to spend it.
I have a small shop. I didn't realize how small until I started filling it with tools and benches. It is a barn style shop with a second floor. 16x20. I have power to the shop with a 100 amp panel. I can configure for 220 if needed.
I have an old craftsman contractor style saw and I'm wondering if I should upgrade. I've been looking at the SawStop machines.
I've also been thinking maybe it would be better to spend the money on a new NOVA DVR lathe. and just put some bells and whistles on the old Craftsman. The only lathe I have is a jet mini non-vs.
I have a lot of rough cut Oak that I plan to begin milling and working with soon.
So...
If you had several thousand that you could spend (if you wanted to) would you buy a new tablesaw and if so, what would you get and why?
