Note: I posted this question over at CBN too, but I know the audience is not completely overlapped, and wanted to solicit as many opinions as possible...thanks
Question. I have picked out a new table saw, a delta contractors saw with an extension table ( Delta 36-431 on amazon.com). Total cost is around $850 brand new. Probably will do most of what I want, but I do have an interest in doing some furniture and/or cabinet work down the road (which this would probably be OK for).
In my local paper there are a few Delta-unisaws for sale, and my understanding is they are very, very good saws that normally sell for $2k or more...
Question is, assuming these are in decent shape, which the ad says they are, for about $150 more I could step into a delta unisaw....should I?
One of them is "52inch fence, 3hp, single phase" in "good" condition and the other one is "3hp, right tilt, biesmeyer fence, mobile base & ext table & blades - like new.
I know the unisaws are pretty big (and heavy). Portability is not an issue for me (besides the initial setup).
What would you guys do?
PS: Single phase is what I want, right? That does mean regular circuitry, correct?
