x-no-archive:yesIs it possible to get this saw as accurate as a real table saw? I havesome furnature projects and this is the only saw I have and cant affordanother one right now. I odnt have a jointer either.

Short answer: No.Long answer: That depends.For my first project, I tolerated a delta bench top table saw. For mysecond project, I built a large table that surrounded the saw so Icould safely cut plywood. Then I threw out my fence and cookedsomething up that was more sturdy and accurate.For the third project, I bought a real table saw.Norm has an episode of NYW that talks about these saws and shows how tomake an extra fence from some mdf and a pipe clamp. It's probablybetter than not having a table saw, but that should be the first toolyou replace.brian

The voice of reason. Well put, Joe. Would I rather have a bench top sawrather than the contractor's that I have now? No. Would I feel disabled if Ihad to use a benchtop saw? Again, no. I have used a few of them with goodresults. Hell, my grandfather used a piece of plywood with a motor hangingunder it spinning a steel saw blade. I've got some of his stuff in my houseto this day.

All he really needs to do is check his memory. He asked this just a shorttime ago and was given advice at length.
