So, I used the little Hitachi job saw (w/ Tenyru GM Blade) trying to straighten out some 1" White Oak boards. Lets just say....the saw started to bog down.
So, I thought to myself...if I am going to pursue this as a hobby for the long term, might be good to have a decent saw. I started to do my research and I am "crunched on space" you could say. I roll my stuff out of the tiny 1 car garage (used to be a carport) to work and roll it inside when I am done.
So I looked at hybrids.
Does anybody have experience with the Shop Fox 1837? 2HP, and from what little reviews I have seen, it seem to be a solid contender. I am not going to have 3PH run out the garage so anything beefy like that is out of the question.
