Nice dovetail joints there - what jig have you got? I've been thinking about buying one for ages, but can never decide.
Sadly my table saw broke earlier this year. It's a Bosch GTS10 - and it turns out they have a habit of failing armatures. Spares are available, but the cost is close to what a basic Axminster might be. Although I've got on well with Bosch power tools over the years, this one isn't up to their usual quality, and the screaming motor is not great. Shame that it's hardly had any usage in the 5 years I've owned it - and it's been kept in much better conditions that most "contractor grade" table saws.
I chose the Bosch because it's light enough to get up and down the cellar steps, but am hoping to sort out my garage as a woodworking workshop later next year - so a cast-iron job with an induction motor is on the wish-list. I'm thinking about the Axminster own-brand jobs, as they do get good reviews. What do you use?
Cheers,
Mark
