I'm in Mystic, CT.

As for the table saw dilemma - you can disassemble many saws (even cabinet
saws) to some more reasonable pieces, but I'm not sure if the cabinet on my
Unisaw would fit through a 28" space. Taking off the tables and motor
wouldn't thrill me too much either, but if that's the only option you have,
I guess it will be worth it. Your best bet is probably a high-end
belt-driven contractor's saw in the 2HP range.

I am renewing an interest in woodworking and to that end looking to take
a step up from an old craftsman table saw or a table-top saw.

I need to get the saw into the basement w/ 28" doorway...

My first projects are to be bookshelves and kitchen cabinets, but I have
a couple of fine furniture projects in mind for the future.

Also, are their other people on this group from the Eastern CT to Cape
Cod area?
