  • Deal on this table saw on Amazon today....

    Seems like a decent feature set for very little money. Any reason I shouldn't get it?

    Other option was to get a festool with the saws top tech but for the 5 times a year I'll really use it and the fact that we have other projects on the go, £3.3k seems like a lot of £££

  • I think you've answered your own question for the amount of times you are going to use it im sure the bosch will do just as good a job. I think the bonus with higher end tools is you can kick the arse out them and they last(mostly)

  • I've heard good things about that Bosch - it has some nifty features. You could drop in a router and have a router table with it too.

  • Very good saw, at a very good price. So good I've risked the wrath of my accountant and blown my tool budget for this quarter when I have 0 income...... But it's a bargain.

    Saw stop tech is very good but designed for the US commercial market it is much less relevant here. To give you an example; if I run my big saw in my workshop without a riving knife and crown guard and anything happens I risk serious jail time. Basically in the US they use tablesaws for almost everything often without a riving knife or crown guard. In this situation the saw stop tech becomes a sensible addition safety wise its not worth saw stop marketing here because commercially there is 0 demand hence why they've licenced it to a company to put on site saws because safety on building sites is slightly more laissez-faire than in a workshop especially when a foreman utters the fateful words "just get it done, I don't care how."

  • very little money

    lol - how much do you earn again?!

  • Nice. I’m jealous.
    Wish I had a garage I could turn into a woodwork shop.
