Trying to decide if it's worth the bother to try and modifymy saw or buy another.
Money is a consideration.
I have a Clarke 10".
Max rip capacity is 12"
I've been looking at a lot of videos on YouTube aboutextension wings and better fences.
The way the saw is constructed, it would be difficult to put a fence with a wider capacity because thefront track is beveled and can't be removed
I stopped at Lowes today to have a look around.
Saw a Kobalt for $279, Hitachi for $479 and a Dewalt for$579 and a Delta for $599
The Delta's pretty nice and the only one that has aBiesemeyer type fence.
But, it may be over my budget.
Actually, I liked the Kobalt.
One problem, being a noob, is I don't know that I don't knowwhat I may want to do.
I will always be just a hobbyist.
At 67 I'm not looking to launch a new career.
My first project would be to build some shop cabinets.
My wife has been bugging me for some kind of computer desk

Then a new kitchen sink cabinet (non-standard size) and Ihave a rental that could use some kitchen cabinets.

Other than that, it would be for whatever urge hits me.

Thanks in advance for any input
