A friend has been buying used tools for what must have been a long time. He has 2 table saws, two jointers, 3 router tables, a dewalt 735 planner, and numerous pieces of fancy anodized aluminum that appear to be parts of Incra and Jointech jigs or fences they may not be complete, and lot of miscellaneous stuff. He has been doing little wood working, but would like to do more. I am helping to set up his garage shop for hobby work. He wants to make little librarys and things in that scale. It will be a big job and I do enjoy the work.
He has 2 table saws, a Powermatic 64A contractor, and a DeWalt Dw746 hybrid with a sliding table, which one should he keep? The PM looks to have heavier trunnion and a larger table. It also has a bessimier fence. The Dewalt does not have a fence, but has 8 ft long rails, that probably were used with the Jointech fence he might have the parts for. He has a new Laguna band saw 14BX set up and ready to go. I know some folks only use a bandsaw.
Which table saw should be set up and used ?
