Table Saw recommendations

3341 Views 31 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  Herb Stoops
My 40-year old TS is nearing it's time to be retired, and I am hoping to get a few recommendations for a replacement... The old one is 10", 13 amp, 120v, with a 44"x27" top. No HP rating given. I have a 240v plug nearby -- in a garage -- and am not committed to those specs. You can see the stuff I've made at the website below, if interested. It has worked well for many years. Sad to see it go!

Want a saw, Tom?
Thanks, already have a doozie. Laguna hybrid ts and Laguna 14/12 band saw. Hard to beat, and I can switch to 220 if I ever want to. And my recently divorced step daughter wants to inherit them when the time comes. I have a few good years left in me and the tools have a few decades to go. After the virus clears, I'm going to have her come down and take some lessons. My daughter inherits the copyrights.

It sounds like (from previous posts, et.al.) that you have a pretty interesting life! I hope she enjoys the woodworking as much as you. Good luck on the virus thing. Luckily, out here in the boonies, no one I know has it. Hope it stays that way!
here's a very good deal, you can change the motor to a single phase motor.. https://www.burnstools.com/used-beach-18-tablesaw-5hp3ph-220-440v

Thanks for your input. I took Stick's advice and got a Bosch 4100xc-10. One thing that pushed it was that Grizzly and Rockler both said curbside delivery only for 500lb+ items. We have a 50 yd gravel driveway and I'm an old guy without the resources to move pallets from the street. For the better. Looking forward to seeing it!

Dave; I'm pretty sure Freud's guys would have taken your set into their shop and did a couple of trial cuts with their saw. They wouldn't make a statement like "They insist that the blades work perfectly on their setup..." unless you're damn sure your product is working properly.
I'm with you, time for a new saw! :) At this point you're not enjoying using the old one any more.

Does that mean you bought the Bosch because you've got a long driveway?

Well, it means several were excluded because they were essentially undeliverable...

They must be selling it for $1.00/lbs. I agree an interesting fence arrangement. Free shipping too. It would cost $400-$600 for a replacement motor. $160-$260 for blades depending on the grind.
