I was at Klingspors yesterday and got to see the demo in person. Sold
Currently have a delta, the one you buy at Lowes for $600. Its a great saw and the size works well for my 12x20 space. I cant go much larger and it needs to be on a mobile base. Heres what im considering
Contractor with mobile base
Upgraded fence with steel wings= $2,098
With cast iron wings $2,368
Professional
1.75 hp (no 220 in my shop) Right around $3000 with mobile base
I've been wood working for a few years. Just a hobby and does not make me any money. I build things for clients as closing gifts (real estate agent). Cutting boards, serving trays, other small things. Any cabinetry work wont be very fancy so I feel the professional might be overkill for my needs. Both have the same fence anyway I believe. Im leaning towards the contractor and if I need to upgrade im sure I can sell it for 80%+ of price paid like Festool sells for. Any opinions on which route I should go?
