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.

Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.

thanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach. All the while, WISHING I had a scroll saw. and now, that I've got one, I'll be venturing back into dimensional...

Very impressive work, John. I like the tooled leather look, the detailed calligraphy, and especially the rendition of the brushes and other tools that you use for your craft. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate the scroll saw into your work, and the opportunities it provides you.

This is the finished project that I sort of "allured" to in my New Member post. The elements were cut out and attached individually in a "layered applique" fashion. Simple hand tools were used to add some "texture" to all of it. This is not wood or leather, it is HDU (High...
