Hi All.
In the market for a new sliding table/panel saw. Have been using an elektra beckum pk250 for a while with various tables I've made around it but generally it's not a great setup so I'm biting the bullet selling it and upgrading. The questions is : To what?
My budget is just under £2000 and I'd like to get a cast iron table, ripping upto say 900mm with I guess an extension of sorts and a sliding carriage with a throat and cut of 1240 or thereabouts. I have a space about 6 metres x 4 metres in which to plonk it. Single phase and scoring blade are also needed.
I work almost exclusively with 18mm sheet materials so depth of cut isn't an issue just the ease of handling 8 x 4 sheets with accuracy etc.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated as I'm finding it hard to compile a sensible list and really don't want to make a duff choice.
Thankyou much. JJ.
