    Default Anyone heard of this Table saw?

    I live in Japan and it is called a "Spokeshave Table Saw" Here is a link to what it looks like. Sorry for it being in Japanese, but I can't find any info on this in English(Not that I can't read Japanese, but there is not much in the way of reviews in Japanese here either and I wanted to check out if there have been reviews in other countries).

    I have just bought a Triton work center, but it is pretty shoddy and I am not happy with it at all.

    Cheers

    Looks like a quality copy of a Powermatic table saw. Depending on price, l think it's a winner.
    I never forget anything I remember !!

    Hey, thanks for the reply.

    I think I found what it is. It seems to be a renamed Grizzly MODEL G0691 10" 3HP 220V CABINET TABLE SAW WITH LONG RAILS & RIVING KNIFE for the Japanese Market. Price is similar too.

    Just have to do some more research on this now.

    I hope you are not equating the cabinet saw to a Triton, they are not exactly competing products

    I thought I could get away with the Triton. This guy in the pro-mo vid convinced me that for 1/5 of the price I could have a saw of equal quality.(I didn't really, but I did think it would produce some reliable cuts until I realized that my Makita hand saw wobbles in the mount and can not be fixed which was producing uneven cuts)

    I knew I should have at least gone with a cabinet saw from the beginning. And although this saw I am looking at now does have its problems , mainly with setup, once setup correctly it does a great job in producing reliable cuts.
