MORE POWER!!!! Empty

I've been tasked with building some cabinet doors over at my daughter's house, and the design I came up with involves ripping some pine.

I have an old (20 yr?) table saw but it's woefully underpowered. Any kind of ripping, lengthwise, especially pine, just binds the blade up in nothing flat. When I was doing the deck and needed to rip a Trex board in half, I ended up pulling out my Skilsaw and eyeballing it.

So.... I bought myself a new table saw. The new ones are all made in China now, which means more features and better construction for less money. For $130 I got a damn powerful 10" saw which cuts through the pine boards like warm butter.

Now I just need some more projects Smile

Too bad you're not closer: I've got a ten-inch table saw I'm giving away. It rips two-inch oak without a problem. Might need a new belt, though.

Also have a radial arm saw and a two-horse air compressor to go.

And some very expensive specialty mechanics tools I no longer have any use for.

Yeah. Winding down.
