$2545 for their 3hp table saw, $2700 including freight. Yeeow. I just don't know how much weight to give the features they've added to account for the price.

Hey Garrad - how’s the saw working for you?

I'm not 100% clear on what you mean. Are you saying you've covered the exposed metal surfaces with an easily removed magnetic surface that collects the moisture instead? Any links to this stuff, or...

Interesting - I'll look into this. Most of the secondary floor build outs I've seen suggest a plastic moisture barrier, then sleepers, then foam and OSB to finish. Is the moisture barrier advised?...

Hercules. I’m looking at that saw. It can’t be that all the 4-5 star reviews are fake. It looks great!

Alright, thanks fellas. I put the same questions to Grizzly support via email and we'll see what they say. My main interests/concerns are finding out if there's any difference in where/how the...

I thought the same, and the pics seem to point to that, but the text...

The W1837 10" 2 HP Open Stand Hybrid Table Saw features cabinet-mounted trunnions

Hi,

Comparing both of these saws, identical specs, cabinets and feature designs look the same (except for the obvious difference, closed+stationary versus open+wheeled). Are they the same saw?

Detached. About 30 ft from my house.

This is great. Just randomly was thinking today... "I think I'd do well to put another floor on top of the concrete, just 2-3", and insulate that." Your tip about putting heat lamps on the gear on a...

OK, all of that sounds reasonable.

Currently have 15A wired to the garage, and assume it would be smart to switch over to 20A.

Based on what you've written, I'm now considering walling off...

Hi,

I've got a two car garage that about 1/3rd of it is emerging as my new workspace. I'm now sitting here thinking about the gear I'll be stashing there, including a cast iron topped table saw, a...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I'm just going to get a proper miter saw and sit tight on the table saw for a bit. Nothing quite feels like a home run.

But I am, if I'm being honest,...

Thanks Fred!

You hit it on the head - feeling a little dizzy ;)

I'll be sticking around and look forward to learning it all.

Ron, great points! Doesn't help me out but it seems worth taking into account to temper frustration.

Bill, can I install an aftermarket riving knife in this model? I'd looked around a bit and couldn't tell.

North-East, New York state to be exact. At the moment this is the thing I was most interested in on CL:

This is interesting. Guy down the road from me is a woodworker and his advice was similar, he said at his shop, all the best gear was made 50-70 years ago, "when they used real steel." Not sure I...

So this makes it two votes for the Ridgid, huh. (edit: three!) I know how superficial and silly this sounds but I just don't like how it looks when compared to the Delta. It feels like it was...

Thanks Lisa. I'd been considering this strongly, too. Just a circular saw guide and the table saw. I fully appreciate the idea behind "just go straight to the best" with the suggestion of a...

My thoughts as well. I intend to get the miter first, then the table saw later, then maybe a drill press, and then just tumbling in to spending from there ;)



Yeah, my feeling is if I have the...

Hi,

I'd originally been considering the DeWalt or (*ducks*) Hercules jobsite saws at just under $400, but digging around I'd seen posts on other forums from 2014/2015 or so saying "the way to get...
