If you could find a good condition SCM SI12 and a vfd, it would be my choice over any cabinet saw in build or ability. Dave
Dave, do you still own a SI12?

I have considered dismantling my tandem table saw set up that consists of a PM 66 w/ 52” bies and Tannewitz Model U back to back in favor of an SI12 or similar, but haven’t seen a good example of the SCMI pop up in a while. For the real estate it occupies in the center of my shop I may be space ahead with just one short stroke slider?
