Thread: Advice for a new table saw up to $2k

The thing is that by the time I pay $300 shipping to Perth I can have a TSC10HB in whatever colour for the same price. My impression is that the Jet will be 'nicer' (for want of a better word). 1.75hp v 3hp doesn't worry me so much but it'll be lighter by 70 odd kg and I wonder about trunnions and general rigidity.

So if the Jet had been $300 more expensive ie the same price as the full cabinet saw do you think you'd have made a different choice?

If they were the same price I probably would have ummed and ahhed a bit and bought the TSC10HB but this wasn't the case. In any event, the Jet proshop is a good table saw and I have no complaints.
