    Default Carbatec 10inch CT-250

    I kicked the tyres on the Carbatec 10" tablesaw listed in the catalog as CT-250 (p52 of 2004 catalog). I was pleasantly suprised at the apparent quality of the unit, from my limited understanding of what I was seeing.

    Does anyone out there possess one of these beasties, and would they care to comment on it's flaws, beauties and foibles?

    Do you mean the mini panel saw? (sorry haven't got the catalogue to hand) The CT 250 TS?

    I was just about to post a question about this very saw. I looked at it a couple of days ago nd was also reasonably impressed with what I saw. Naturally I would love something like the TSC-10HB but thta is too much saw and too much money for my needs.
    Looking at the catalogue afterwards I notice that this saw is described as having a universal motor rather than an induction motor. If this is so then does that make it much noisier than induction motor saws?

    I also dropped in to Major Woodworking Eqpt in Sydney to look at the Jet contractor style saws but they didnt have anything smaller/cheaper than the Supersaw at $1995

    Default induction vs universal

    wondering that myself, I found this

    and some posts on this forum as well which suggest that the CT-250 would be as noisy as a triton, because it's about the same sort of motor as a circular saw.

    bah. back to the drawing board
