New here and new to working with wood beyond 2x4 storage shelves and such.
I see all the best saws are all cast steel and some have options for cast or stamped steel wings but always steel.
Why? Purely for mass and vibration control (actually lowering the natural frequency)? Why are there no good table saws tops made from Aluminum? I know some jobsite saws have alum tables as does my Bosch.
I my day job I design aerospace equipment and we make extremely high performance accurate equipment and fixtures from Aluminum. Surfaces can be hard coated providing a hard slippery surface.
Thanks and I hope I am not beating a dead horse subject topic
