Yes, as others have pointed out, I'd like a cabinet saw as it states
in my subject line.

I have not been to Peterson yet, although I may swing by soon.
Someone else mentioned them when I took my jointer knives in to be
sharpened at Eide. By the way, if you need blades, bits, or knives
sharpened, I would recommend Eide highly. They were VERY helpful and
friendly. And prices are good. They are over in NE Mpls (near
Youngblood Lumber).

Regarding the hybrids, yes, I'd consider a hybrid (delta, grizzly and
jet all seem to have nice ones). the only thing is that not many
people are selling used hybrids yet as they are relatively new still.

I guess I could always buy new, but I'm so dang cheap (wait, I think
frugal is a better word!) I just don't know if I could go through with
it. Haha.

You didn't say whether you wanted a "contractors" style saw or a cabinet
saw.

Have you visited Peterson Machine at 3815 E Lake St, Mpls? (721-6661).
I used to go there for small things while looking around at the
Unisaws. They usually had 3 or more used ones for sale. I think they
had a second store, right next to the one I gave the address for that
was the used machinery place. It's been a number of years since I've
been there, so call before you go to make sure they are still in the
same place.
I know you said "3 HP is big enough", but I recently bought a new
Delta 1 3/4 hp hybrid cabinet saw w/Biesmeyer fence for about $1200, and
it seems pretty nice.

I am looking for my first table saw and would like to buy something
that will last me a long time. 3 hp is plenty big enough for me. If
you've got a nice saw that you no longer need, let me know. I'd love
to take a look.

Thanks,
