The Tattooed One
What's the biggest differences between hobby rated machines and those designed for trade? I'm asking because if it's primarily quality then that's very different to it being about timber dimensions or volume of usage.
I've been skipping through designs and my plans and reckon there's rarely, if ever, a need for me to require large pieces, so max thickness 2" for putting through a planer/thicknesser for example, and widths probably less than 12". Occasionally there's a need for pieces that are about 6'x2"x2" finished size.
Just wondering what sort of level of machine I should be aiming at. With those sort of sizes, would a table saw be overkill? Seems like a bandsaw might be enough.
