Congrats, Throntar!

Ooo! Ooo! Bandsaw?!? Tablesaw?!? I don’t have a bandsaw myself but so far have not been disappointed by the Jet equipment I have purchased. As for a tablesaw, I do have an opinion.

I own a 3 h.p. 10 inch left tilting cabinetmaker’s tablesaw and love it, even Hard Maple cuts like butter. While I think Jet, Delta, and Powermatic (of course there are better but then you’re talking real $$$) are close in quality I would recommend going for a cabinet maker’s saw based on closer tolerances for greater accuracy, increased horsepower, and machine longevity. Of course those who are truly talented can turn out excellent work on whatever machine they have.

Father Bronze,

Ah yes, Patience, a virtue normally possessed only by those without children. Hey, if you know of any place I could pick up some of this scarce commodity, please let me know.
