In choosing a table saw, the first thing that you should look for is an all
cast iron table and leafs. Once you have found one with that usually it will
be a quality one. As for brands, Personally, I have a Craftsman with cast
iron. I know these guys don't care for Crapsman, but I worked for Sears for
a time and got a hell of a deal on it. Just btwix you and I and the rest of
the rec.woodies I paid 170.00 for it regularly 800.00 at the time. SO for
the money it was well worth it. I did change the blade to a Freud last week,
and lemme tell ya'll it was the best 22 bucks I ever spent on a blade, Yeah
I got that one cheap too. I'm a cheap kinda guy, I just tonight bought two
NEW kerosene heaters from Lowes for 15.50 ea. reg 139.00 ea. My wife can
smell the deals from the house! As far as nailers I like the Paslodes.
Although I don't currently own one yet, Haven't found a good deal yet!
