Hi, I am putting together my own small workshop to do my private jobs, I need a machine capable of ripping hardwood typically up to a meter long and around the 2" size sometimes a bit of 3", mainly kiln dried walnut and oak, walnut is soft so no to much of a problem but oak is obviously much harder, I need something as small and cheap as possible as it's a second workshop and don't want to go to mad also will have light use,I was looking at the evolution rage 5s with a rip blade but I don't think it's up to it, alternatively I could go down the bandsaw route with ripping blades as it's a versatile machine. I was looking at Axminster craft ac2305b.
Any other recommendations?
Thanks
