$850 - Three Table Saws
So these 3 saws all come within my budget, and I can get all of them locally without shipping. I don't really have room for one in the carport (where I wanted to keep it) but it will fit under my large pergola, and I would build a table top for it. I really wanted a benchtop style saw but they all seem to have so many drawbacks, it just seems like the wrong decision.
Does anybody own or have any real experience with any of the following, as I would be interested in hearing your views.

Hope you all got into the shed this weekend,

Hi Beanie, sorry don't know anything about them but the machinery house one is at least a 12", has to be a solid point for it for starters.

Probably all much of a muchness, but as Mr. Claw points out 12" has to be handy.
Have a good look at the trunions and the general buil of each saw, check the stabilty of the fences, blad runout and so on . Then decide.

The carbatec has the solid table extensions .
The H&F is 12 " and comes with a blade and a push stick .
I think the three machines are pretty much the same in quality .
I would have a look under neath and as artme says ,check out the trunnion , belt adjustment and how solidly they are built.
See what extras you can get from each seller ,although H&F are already offering a little more than the other two.
I know how hard it is to decide ,It took me 2years to finally choose a table saw .

Thanks for the replies so far
I know that this question has been asked many times, and I went back through 20 pages of this section last night, saw the same questions and answers lots of times. I acknowledge that there are an awful lot of woodturners on this forum, but I find it hard to believe someone on here doesn't own at least one of these saws
Even those that initially asked the questions, didn't respond with any purchase they may have made.
Perhaps some sort of poll, or DB of members and their gear might be an idea. One of the other forums I'm on (not WW related) does this.
But, anyway, I'm off Friday to have a look at these three, see if I can't screw em down on price a bit. If not, it may be the dreaded MLT100 after all.

That looks to be a good fence on the 12in model.
Do any of them come in orange?
