(tilt and walk works, though). But I cannot for the life of me understand
why
people who have used a cabinet saw keep saying the footprint is larger
than,
say, a contractor's saw with similar accouterments. It isn't. And the
basic
saw, with a similar fence, is actually a wee bit less deep because the
motor
ain't hanging out the back.

Probably the weight and the mass of a cabinet saw makes the owner feel that
it has a larger footprint.
