I cannot get a slider. I have used them and I know the wonderful things about them...but I am very limited on space. So I am going to have to get a cabinet saw when I upgrade. I want to get a solid saw that is going to last me years. Period. Not something I am going to regret in 2 years if you know what I mean.
I have 110v service right now, but I have no issue upgrading to the 220/240v standard. Here is where I am really stumped.
I want a strong saw. Something that will cut easily through the hardest wood and not get bogged down, have a clean cut on the Dado Stack as well as when making normal cuts. I am thinking that a 5HP saw would be the way to go. What I am trying to figure out is, is there any use in looking at the 220v 3HP saw?
The saw I am looking at right now is the 10": 5HP 1023RLWX since...
1. Has a small footprint
2. Can have a mobile base for me to wheel it out and use in my driveway.
3. *insert Arnold voice* Lots of POWAAA
I like the feature on the Sawstop where you can add a slider attachment to the left side of the saw. Is there anything like that for other saws? My wife saw the price on the sawstop and literally said "That is insane...NO".
