Just purchased a Sawstop PCS last month for my home usage, but need something for our farm that can cut outside and in varying wood, including fresh/wet wood. Don't want to spend sawstop prices here but wondered if there is a better option than the Dewalt DWE7491RS for the money. The first usage will be ripping 100 sheets of 3/4" plywood that are currently approximately 14.5" x 48". We are making some initial stickers for our portable sawmill and picked up a pallet load of plywood cutoffs for what amounts to around $12 per whole 4x8 sheet. Problem is, to make stickers somewhere between 3/4 to 1 1/4 inch wide, we are talking about 1,000 to 1,600 rips. Also, the sawmill is in a different location around 2.5 hours away from my house so cutting them on the new Sawstop PCS is not a valid option.
So, any thoughts on a decent 10" jobsite saw that could handle this task as well as provide a general purpose carpentry grade saw for use around the farm when needed? Needs to be one of the plastic and aluminum style for lower weight purposes but also so it won't rust since it will be stored in a barn. Thank you.
