Hi,
I'm looking for first decent Table Saw and have a limit of $1500. I live in Central Vic so local options are limited. There is a local supplier who is dealer for Machinery Warehouse and they have the Hafco ST-254 which is in budget and seems to be a reasonable entry level, sort of industrial type table saw.
The supplier has one on display and after having a little play with things on it I was wondering if anyone has info on how this machine performs in the long run.
The fence seems to be very solid and slides smooth, however the dial for measurement seems a bit fiddly and hard to line up with the numbers though. The fence also seemed to have a gap that might be about 3mm, so could be an issue for thin ply/mdf.
I'd also like to run a blade for doing 3mm slots in wood, so not necessarily a dado blade set up, just one with thicker teeth.
There seems to be almost no useful info on the Web about this machine, so that is normally not a great sign. Can anyone provide any info please or suggest alternatives for a similar priced machine? Thanks.
