    Default Anyone use this dimension saw ?

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to get some user feedback on saws like this.
    I wonder what are the downsides of such setups compared with sliding table saws ?

    Not sure what they are called on your side of the ditch
    It is a 300mm but also considering the 250mm.

    I had planned on getting a sliding table saw but was taken by some videos of the sliding left bed dimension saws.
    .
    I am a one man band making a few cabinets in solid wood.The occasional sheet of ply or mdf slides by
    Been using a 50 year old 10 in tilt top table saw so this will be a quantum shift
    Staying single phase.


    cheers for any responses
    Pete

    Thumbs up

    Looks pretty much like the panel saws that cabinetry places use.

    All the ones I have seen ( AND USED ONCE OR TWICE ) are large, accurate and bloody great to use.

    Looks similar to this one being offers by Woodfast here in OZ .
    I'm considering the next one down the page ,it has the sliding table with out the panel extension table.
    Three reasons why not the bigger machine , 1 the price , 2 I don't have the space . 3 , I rarely cut large sheet goods .

    kev.
