John, if you visit the Oz woodworking forum, you will find huge support for the Harvey range of table saws. They are considered exceptional value-for-money in the middle range of table saws for the home shop. They range from about $2000 AUD to $5500 AUD.

This one was $3500 (3 hp) ...



The similar SawStop PCS is $4300 AUD ...



I began looking at the SS with 36" GlideRail plus sliding table. In the end I wound up with a Hammer K3 slider around October last year.

I have had the Hammer N4400 bandsaw for about 7 years now. I also have a Hammer A3-31. I do not have a favourite machine (although I am in awe of what they can do). They each have a place in the chain.
