Rich, the only reason to have a iron table is for an industrial operation. Since most members are asking for home use I would say it is a terrible waste of money. Buy or build a decent table and use all the extra cash you save for bits.

 

Thanks



Yeah I had that opinion of the cast iron tables too.Just wanted some other views.

 

Handy for magnetic attachments, e.g. Magswitch.Magswitch

 

I like that! It would work with the Triton Table. I looked on Axminster and thought the Pro Featherboard was dear at UKP36, then checked J&L who expected would be cheaper, but who wanted a whopping UKP47 for the same thing!
Rockler want 59 bucks, EagleAmerica about the same, with Lea Valley at USD51. Hey, Axminster are looking reasonable !! That makes a change on a regularly priced item. UK prices are usually the same digits in Pounds that US ones are in Dollars.

 

I don't need the mag switch. Add a clamp and a feather board, or any thing you need. Also a lot lighter.

 

Saw table, band saw table are both cast iron as are their basic fences. A sheet of tinplate or steel fastened to a wooden table, can use the magswitch featherboards if you share them on other equipment. Buy one and become flexible.
