I was considering a big saw like that. Honestly, the 220V is what stopped me. There’s no good way to get tons of power to my shed. I ended up buying a mid 90s craftsman 113, with a cast iron top, the hang on the back, belt driven motor. You can buy biesemeyer fences and add them to any old saw. The craftsmans typically come with rust, and need new belts and sometimes pulleys. I built a cabinet and dust collection is pretty good. It has been a labor of love, but it really does perform very well now. I don’t have a problem building high precision jigs for it. My other saw had too much runout to use a high precision jig.
Here is the rambling thread where I documented my cabinet:
My biggest problem with it is safety. It doesn’t have a riving knife, and it will happily chop off any appendages you give it. I should probably buy the aftermarket riving knife kit from microjig.
If we moved today, and I had a 3 car garage with 220V available, I would buy a sawstop. I am totally convinced of their quality and their safety. I was considering their jobsite saw when I bought mine, but the contractor saw is probably a better choice. An experienced woodworker hobby person I know said that if they were starting out again, they would take woodworking classes at the local community college, and buy a sawstop. He has one now, but wished he had bought it 20 years ago.
If the table saw refurb was charged as work, I would have easily spent over $2k on it. But I like doing most of it, and I’m proud of the result. I can also fix or edit it however I like.
