So, the 'family' saw finally gave up after only 65 years and 3 generations - piece of rubbish! Apparently willpower and welding just isn't enough to keep it going..
So, I've been surfing the interwebs, and there's so many contending views, so I thought I'd ask here.
I need a saw that has a reasonably large (cast iron) table (12" throat min), used mostly for sizing board between 4 "and 10" wide, and resawing hardwoods up to 200mm at a practical pace, single phase 13A and not a silly price. It's my go-to saw so needs to be reliable and once set up properly, not too needy in terms of fettling.
Normally, I'd drive around the usual suspects and look at the common brands on offer, but at the moment, that's not practical....so...your thoughts please folks.
