  1. Yeah this one is gonna be pretty solid but it's mainly for you cnc machine. One half under the top will have cabinets and the other side will have one or two large pull out drawers for tools such as my compund miter saw, planer, etc...
  2. Thank you all for the help and info and I'll do my best to keep my fingers haha. I'll let you know how it all goes and post up pics of the workbench when I get it together.
  3. Haha alright dang it have to fork out some more and have to find new project for the mdf I have. I ended up getting a 40t and 60t haha. Figure for the 2x4 rips and what not I'll use the 40t with standard insert and use 60t with zero clearance insert. Wish ply wasn't so expensive at the big box stores or had a good lumber yard around. Being a firefighter I error on safety so picked up a featherpro featherboard and a grriper.
  4. True, yeah I used it for my bench top sealed it and painted to prevent warping from moisture. Just not sure if it's suitable for the base of the shelf/cabinets or if I should just fork out for 3/4" ply
  5. Thanks I'm at home depot right now looking at the two. Debating on picking up the 60t for the fact might use mdf that I have laying in in my garage for the base on the workbench as I need to use it. Or is that a bad idea?
  6. How's about for ripping a 2x4? Would either one of those be better or worse. Thanks again for the help, being a novice I've usually just used a straight edge clamp and circular saw so this is all new territory.
  7. Thanks, for a first I'm sure I'll like it and if I go further into wood working down the road I'll upgrade. Is the 40t Diablo good enough for making cabinets for the most part? Needing to build my shelves for my work bench which I will start once I finish repairing and painting the girlfriends dresser that is taking up a ton of room haha.
  8. Well I opted for the dewalt for a few reasons. Now for two questions any help/input is appreciated. One may sound stupid but as this is my first table saw, does it matter which side you put your material in relation to the blade to the right or left? Do you want the piece your ripping against the fence or the strip you're ripping against the fence? Also I plan on replacing the original blade with a freud any suggestions on which blade? I was looking at the 40t premium fusion general purpose is there any other that you all suggest? The plan is to buy more specialized blades when I can.
  9. Those with jobsite saws have you tried building cabinets or furniture with them? I am concerned with space hence why I'm leaning towards the slightly more compact option. My work bench I'm work on now is on casters and have foot locks to keep motion from the cnc down.
  10. I am currently in a dilemma as to what table saw to purchase. As up to this point I've gotten away using various tools to get by but I am now coming to see their limitations. Only recently have I gotten more interested in wood working and am now looking to purchase my first table saw. I am in the process of building a 4'x6' work bench that will hold my cnc on top and will have cabinets below on one half with a large pull out drawer on the other for my miter saw and other large tools. Currently I rent the house i live in with my girlfriend and am working in my 2 car garage that is quickly filling up with tools and used also for storage (pretty well organized)haha. I am also limited on space do to the one work bench and depending on which saw I get might be limited for another smaller workbench/ outfeed/router station. I am currently looking at the dewalt 7491rs, Bosch 4100-09, rigid 4512, and delta 36-725. They are all about the same price, each has their faults, so far leaning towards the dewalt. I plan on using it to make the storage on the workbench, some night stands, various other wood projects and cutting acrylic sheets. If I could get away with a cheaper table saw that would be great ,but I'm afraid might be limited and regret it. I'm a little more concerned with the rigid and delta do to size and if they would be so much more noticeable in quality in cuts than the other two to warrant losing the mobility and taking more space when not using. I should also state I am limited to 120v models. Any input would be appreciated, and I have gone through the search but many of the threads are older and not quite pertain to the same.
