Thread: What TableSaw do you have?
-
24th July 2011, 04:14 PM #31
After much research I bought a TSC-10HB
Good solid saw and overall very happy with it. Huge leap forawrd in accuracy from a Triton (even still a great way to start woodworking)
The only cons are
Riving knike is removed using bolts rather than a quick release. (Wastes time and the slightest bump and you have to realign the knife.)
Do not bother with the router fence attachment and ignore the fact you can mount the router. It is a PITA set up. You cannot move the fence back far enough from larger bits and the router position unless very skinny router interferes with the wheel to adjust the blade angle. I changed the knobs to smaller ones and this helped a bit. However, I highly recommend a designated router table and be done with it. Then at least you can also align the fence as well.

I have the 12" version from Timbecon. I'm happy with the fence, but the riving knife is fixed - it does not go up and down with the blade, and cannot be adjusted down or up. In consequence, I can't do cuts part way through any but the narrowest stock.
It's cutting performance was vastly improved with a Freud blade (I found one in PTMS in Bayswater).

TSC-10HB
Great workhorse, easy to align. Upgraded to this from the Triton, never regretted the move.
Added an extension wing. Removed the router wing, too many hassles. Also made a dust separator for it to go between the table and the dust collector.
I also added the Triton sliding table extension - got the idea from Sturdee - works great for crosscutting large sheets -see here
Recent ( last weekend) problem with the control switch - stop button will not work, quite loose
Also, have a look at table saw comparison thread from 2009 here - the MJ2325B didn't come up too well
Also, some relevant comments here
Would have preferred a riving knife setup.
I use the dado setup a lot, but it is limited to 15mm width because of the short arbor spindle length. But I cheat by using a blade stiffener as a big washer, rather than the conical washer that comes with it, and get 18mm OK and safely.regards,

The dustport on my MJ2331 points straight at the support legs, and so it's pretty much impossible to attach anything to it.
Recently, the plastic blade cover has broken, and I've started to make a replacement. The replacement will be sheetgoods shaped with bandsaw, and will have an attachment to connect something at the _side_ of the blade. "Something" will be a vacuum cleaner (perhaps with a mini cyclone in the line).if that can't cope then the dusty.John

I have a Jet 10" Supersaw (JWSS-708781). Love it.
Pros:
small sliding table for but big enough for almost anything except large slabs or sheets. Mitre gauge much better than the usual gauge from another table saw.
Left tilting, making bevel cuts safer and easier
plenty of grunt
space to add a router table insert into the wooden extension wing (but haven't done it yet as I live in Italy and my saw lives in storage
Cons:
Not 12 inch.
removing the mitre gauge is a pain
needs a bigger extension table.
