Enjoy your productions. Amanda is a really solid addition.
The only thing I can say about cheap table saws ( I have owned one for 20 years) vs professional cabinet saws is if you learn to use a cheap table saw safely then moving to a professional saw is a breeze. Now I work in a shop with 2 cabinet saws.
True. First saw I had was a Craftsman bench top. Spent more time adjusting screws for the cheap wings than cutting wood, but still made some nice furniture with it! Have had two different good quality contractor saws since and May upgrade to cabinet saw eventually. Just not for $5K.
Great podcast! Amanda is a natural.
Contractor saws...
I don’t remember what my Bosch saw cost, however, in the field it’s priceless. I can make accurate cuts when needed as well as being able to make freehand scribe cuts. Unlike my 5hp cabinet saw kickback isn’t as much of an issue. That being said, I shy away from budget tools as they can be a bit dodgy if you’re not aware of what can go wrong. Experience an knowledge are your best safety tools.
Ben clearly hasn't spent much time around a spoiled rich kid if he thinks something being expensive means that it will be respected.
Dang valid point! -Ben
Table saw safety: I don't see "price of entry" as an effective filter. There are plenty well trained poor folk and plenty reckless wealthy folk.
Good point! -Ben
More Amanda!!
That's the idea! -Ben
Yes, she is great….can she wear a couple barrettes or head band as the twins covering her face are distracting. Random I know but there you go….
thanks
If table saws were that expensive, it would have prohibited me from getting into the hobby in the first place. Educate people as best as you can about the risks, but don't police people's buying decisions. Feel free to offer the technology as an upgrade, but don't force it on us. I'm saying this as someone who has a Dewalt contractor saw, but plans to buy a SawStop someday, both for quality, and also for safety. But I want to be the one to make that decision. I don't want bureaucrats to make that decision for me.
