Without getting into any "brand-name" arguments, my advice would be to forget about the 10" and look at a 14" BS. Seriously.

Twice the price, but well worth it. Not only will they cut larger pieces, but are generally easier to tweak so that it cuts right.

Hmmm... I see that Carbatec has narrowed down the range - to only the one 14" BS!

And not the best they've ever carried, either. I hope that's not a permanent thing...

As for paying to get a bench made... [shudder] Why? Build one yourself and put the pennies saved into your tools. (Like... making up the difference in cost and buying a 14" BS instead of a 10".

) You can not only make something to fit your shed exactly, but also customise it to suit your needs.

And come the time when you decide it needs some serious modifications (and that time will come!) then you won't feel as bad about cutting it up.
