Table saw, hard choice.

09-13-2011, 02:59 AM

Hello,

I just wanted to ask, if anybody here have any experience with Bosch PTS 10, Bosch GTS 10 or Makita MLT 100?
I need saw that can cut really clean and precisely, my current cheap china manufactured table saw is a butcher, unfortunately

Those 3 saws are within my price range, but I can't really find any usefull opinions on them.

btw. maybe someone from europe know any online store with Excalibur/Hegner scroll saws? I can't find any of these in my country, even used... Shipping from US is 500$ lol, so thanks but no thanks

I have this Bosch http://www.lowes.com/pd_294100-353-4100-09_4294857520_4294937087_?productId=1208633&Ns=p_p roduct_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_qty_sales_doll ar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_Table%2BSaws%2B_4294857 520_4294937087_%3FNs%3Dp_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0 ||p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo=
It does a pretty good job for a portable saw. The riving knife is built into the blade lifting mechanism and can be a royal pain sometimes. As far as nice clean cuts it really depends on the blade, for accuracy it is pretty good. If I have a large job though I usually use my Jet table saw with the 52" fence.

I am on any shift except sleep! Bruce is limited as to what he can do so I have to make up for it. Since we won’t be having a lot of cardholders that is freeing me up to do other things, which I am really enjoying. I do take a lunch break, which usually includes 20 or so minute nap. And when I sit...
