    I sugest you fellows look at what I started out with I believe Niki our master Jig maker who just past away started out with similar.

    https://www.woodworkforums.com/f142/c...ble-saw-52792/

    I recall my dad's old table saw very much like the one made above but on a larger scale with.

    I reckon for under $10 your got a bargain especially if it gets done what needs to be done.

    LOL

    Is it just me or have we really been sold a pup - had a look at the pix of the saw again - just checking to see how the dado blade would fit - and the power cable appears to have a female plug at the end of the cord - which means that the extension lead / powerpoint would have to have the prongs exposed - very dodgy indeed.

    Regards,
    Bob
