Hi,
as eBay has some good discounts and I am flipping some Parkside table saws for a profit I am looking to get a decent (ish) table saw. I was uming and aring about the Dewalt 7485 at £400 but these went out of stock (240v) - although I didn't like a review that said getting the blade at an angle (even 90 degrees) was nigh on impossible because of the slide design. Two others that are left are the Bosch GTS10J2 and the Metabo TS 254 M table saw, both are available with stands for £414 and £316 respectively.
I know that the Metabo is new to market but it does seem to be a decent price all considered and the angle change seems to be more controlled with using the wheel rather than a shove. Both have non-standard mitre slots, but on the video's I have seen it looks like the Bosch also has a push adjustment for the angle - can anybody confirm this??
One thing I did see with the Bosch is that it looks like its height adjustment is done with metal gears whereas I suspect the Metabo uses plastic.
Thoughts guys - looking to buy tonight!!! Usage will be a small space in the garage and outside weather permitting.
