Default Laguna TSS Tablesaw

I viewed the Laguna product video yesterday. The TSS tablesaw with
sliding table and scoring is absolutely amazing. Of course the price is
amazing, too: a mere $4095! Hah, when I win lotto, maybe.

The scoring feature is another pair of blades the slightly score the
stock before it hits the dado blade. This greatly reduces (maybe
eveneliminates) the tearout, especially in materials like melamine.

This is the best table saw I've ever seen (I have a 3 hp unisaw, not a
bad saw). It's was amazing to see just how good it can get --and
there's probably more amazing ones out there I don't even know about.

BTW, I did buy the Laguna LT14SE bandsaw -- their second from the
bottom in the product line. A bit extravagent for the hobbyist but dang
it, I need some bragging rights!

I rec'd their tape. Really nice table saw! And w/o the scorer or slider, a
mere $2400...not that much more than a powermatic.

Ahh, but the slider and scorer is what makes it so sexy.

BTW, I take it you prefer Powermatic over Delta...true? My unisaw is
really old -- I may replace it in the new couple of years....

Suggest you buy the slider version first then. The slider version has a
modified fence. Then buy the scorer , another $600. I don't do alot with
melamine and the blade I use on my delta is a smooth operator on hardwood
plywood.(Amana Tools 50 t.)
Had a small prob with my Delta jointer. Excellent customer service! Delta
was my first choice these days, untill I saw that laguna vid.

Hmmm. The 3 HP right tilt Delta Unisaw with 50" fence is around $1500.
The Laguna TSS with sliding tables is around $3600, I could get two
nice unisaws for the price if the Laguna.

Although Laguna claims they the sliding table will fit a Unisaw -- it
costs $1025 according to the price sheet from Laguna I received last
week.

I think I'll be sticking with Delta. I've managed so far w/o any Laguna
magic.

That said, I did succumb to the Laguna bandsaw, as I mentioend earlier.
I'm eagerly awaiting it's arrival.

BTW, what's a tiling arbor saw?

Nevermind on the tilting arbor saw question. I did a search in
rec.woodworking and got a good answer.

Mike - just curious, why do you not archive your messages?

Anyway, you have aunisaw with a Lahuan sliding table? Wow. Does it look
difficult to install and true?

When I read you post from google groups, it says

Note: The author of this message requested that it not be archived.
This message will be removed from Groups in 5 days (Apr 5, 7:27 pm).

That's the archive question. Why did you do that? Or perhaps it's
happening and you don't know aout it....
