Hi all, happy new year!
New to the boards and am currently in the process of purchasing a new table saw.
Ive been reading all the post on this board and doing a stack of research and now want some final advice! Ill try keep it brief:
I'm working in a home shop building small- medium sized pieces of furniture. Im looking at spending around $2000 give or take a few $100. Ive been to all the suppliers around Melbourne and checked out Harvey, Jet, Baileigh however I'm yet to see a Laguna.
My preferences is for a lighter weight saw for movability. So <200kg, 10amp (i have 15 amp but my cnc, jointer/thicknesser and dust collection are running on those circuits) apart from that I want it fully featured, so good quality T square fence, riving knife, a 30-40" rail as well as cabinet mounted trunnions. So as you can imagine I've arrived at a either an entry level table saw or a quality hybrid saw.
Ive spent a while on the second hand market (yet to buy a new tool!) however in this case I want to purchase new!
I have made a longish list of contenders, but my current dilemma is whether to go for a high end hybrid like the Laguna fusion or a Baileigh TS-1044HH (Laguna edges out with wheels as well as proven performance and stop button being mounted on the rail and not the cabinet of the saw) or alternatively moving up a little in weight and going for a Harvey HW110HB-30 or a Baileigh 1040e-30. The upside of the Fusion or similar is the 36" rail but its seemingly lighter duty. I'm really just after your opinions as both types of saws address my needs! Also if anybody has any other recommendations would be great to know if I've overlooked any. The jet proshop was considered however at $2000 i feel the other options are a bit more saw, but I may be incorrect.
Thanks!
