Finally have the table saw that I bought from a member here, JK_Qld, back in October up and running. Still a few things to complete including a more permanent dust extraction setup and an outfeed table, but at least I can now use the saw to get some jobs done. :D Very happy with my purchase, it's a big improvement on the old rattler. Thanks Joel, you were a pleasure to deal with. :2tsup:
Ahhhh....'tis a thing of beauty :2tsup:
What make is the cabinet saw?.
Looks like one of the many SB-10 clones, but with a good Incra fence system upgrade? If it is an SB-10 it is a hybrid, not a cabinet saw?Quote:

I've also done a little modification, which sees it able to take a 12" blade on the rare occasion. A cabinet saw would have been nice, but at this stage I'm very pleased. The saw came with the Incra fence, having had one previously on the contractor saw I wouldn't have been happy to take a backward step in that area.

A 12" blade is only used very occassionally, but when it's needed it's mighty handy to have the option.
Glad you're enjoying the saw David, also good to see it survived the trip.
