now. Plan to spend $750 and up for the last saw you will ever buy.

Not necessary.

I have a Delta contractors saw I spend around $300 on. Works like a
champ. I'm willing to bet the stuff (finished furniture) that comes out
the other side of my saw is better if not equally good as those that own
$750 saws.

I have been to some websites of woodworkers that have the $750 + saws and
all they make is CRAP.

Checked out my web site did you? This is true of table saws, cameras, golf
clubs, cookware, etc. You still need skill. Sounds like you have it; good
for you. That said, it is more convenient, possibly faster, and yes, there
is a feeling of satisfaction that comes from using quality accurate tools.
I could drive a Yugo and get to work every day, but prefer my Buick with all
the powered features.

I like being able to move the Biesemeyer fence, line up the cursor, and lock
it in place and KNOW is is going to cut at the stated dimension, every time.
And know that if I rip 1, 10, 20, or 50 boards, it is till locked in the
same place.



That will be the saw you will be using 25 years from now.

45 + 25 = 70

Think he will be using the saw at 70???

Sure, why not? I know of one guy that is 80 and still using his. You aren't
prejudiced against older people are you? Shees, I just turned 60 last week
so should I turn in my tools?
