Thx, I’ll take a look.
If you don’t mind my asking - I’m also looking at a couple of table saws and wondering if a 1.5hp is sufficient or do I need 1.75 hp? I like the sawstop jobsite as it folds up nice for storage, but unlike their contractor 1.75hp, its only available with a 1.5 hp motor.
I’m thinking 1.5hp is good for ¾ baltic birch, but will it handle a 1.25 or 1.5 in material? Any thoughts? Thx
Not much difference between the two Hps. Should still be able to rip 2x4s and 3/4 hardwood with either. If you are doing 8/4 hardwood then go for more Hp, but 2-3 Hp is better choice for thick hardwood. Thin blades make a difference, but can deflect on long rips.
greatly appreciated
