Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

I am with the thought that the Miter Blade plays a huge part in a Miter Saw performance. Do you have any suggestions on a good 10" blade available at local industrial suppliers?

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

A friend of mine has a deWalt and I really like it when I used it before. My old table blade was a Nicholson. Price-wise I remember it was very competitive. The blade served me well for quite a long time before I had this bright idea to used it to cut some refractory bricks.

@Joey - Nice Mitter Saw. What brand is it and did you get a good deal on it?

I need to have sawhorses too. I hope to have the time this weekend to build at least 2 pcs.

someone told me that Irwin brand is a good saw blade. he told me that many woodworkers here in pinas used this because of its "makunat" metal. last wednesday when we were T Alonzo i saw a 7 1/4 60T selling for 540pesos and nicholson for 600pesos also a makita brand for 1300pesos and bosch for 950pesos. i dont know how much for 10' though for i only ask for 7 /14 to replace my old saw blade.

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

I hate to say this because it just goes to show how tool crazy I am: I have one of those too but it is only 7-1/4".

your one of a kind sir incc63. i think you have all the tools that many woodworkers want... wow! your awesome man!

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

This is my 10" Miter Saw. Lot's of power but it does not slide.

Joey's updated Saw Horse is much better now with the braces installed.

oh my.. woooow. this is a Miter Saw that I'm dreaming.

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

Thanks Joey but I'm more a tool crazy person than a die hard woodworker. I've also interests in machining, metal casting, composites, mechanics, and electronics. I put electronics last because that's my profession.

indeed your the master of tools!

still looking for some budget table saw... whats the difference between ordinary table saw and contractor saw?

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

Honestly I don't know ... ha ha ... that should my image straight. I suspect is refers to the robustness of the saw. I've a few "indestructible" tools that I bought from closed down factories. You can really see the difference. This is another means of getting bargains. For example, my drill press came from a closed down furniture shop. It is so heavy I did not dare put it in the trunk of my car. I bought it for P3,500 which was about the price of a brand new MIC drill press then. The former owner just wanted to get rid of it.

I still think you should just build one.

lol...wow... you got lucky there... well ive been in t alonzo this morning. i saw a lot of table saw, and to my surprise underneath is just an ordinary circular saw...wooohhhww...

if those manufacturer can do that why can,t i? i think im just gonna build one, but im not not sure where to start? whats the thing should i buy first? and where to source out? whats the spec?

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

Most of the Chinese made Drill presses in the 3,000 - 6,000 peso range I've seen so far looks junky. I'm in the lookout for a second hand older model industrial drill press too. Innc63 got lucky in this department.

If I am not mistaken I think Innc63 repairs or refurbishes his own tools too.

Newbie question : Why is a table saw so important for a Woodworker? Is the circular saw not good enough?

thanks

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

Buy the saw first. Doing so is not terribly essential but it is not such a bad idea. The table can be just 3/4" plywood.

Bros checkout Buy and Sell once in awhile this is where I've found the good old industrial stuff. Yup repairing tools is a good, but sometimes risky, way of getting the tools I want (not necessarily need). Also, repairing tools is a lot of fun too ... aside from being a good excuse to need more tools.

A table saw is often better than a portable for several reasons:

1. When cutting small pieces, a portable is usually difficult to wield being heavier. Also you don't have a large clear view of the cutting point.
2. Long cuts on narrow pieces are also very difficult with a portable.
3. The table serves as a large stable reference.

Here are the times I use the portable:

1. Large wide workpieces such as a whole sheet of plywood.
2. Project is already assembled and it is too bulky to heave on to the table saw. Normally I just use a manual saw, it is easier.
