Steve, That's why I'm leaning towards possibly doing the control panel first. Computers are easy for me...I work with them every day. But the biggest hurdle in all this is trying to get the tools (price) and the wood (home) without spending an arm and a leg and my left ear. :) For example, out of curiosity, I typed in Table Saw to Amazon.Com. Most that I saw were in the $400 - $500 range. Since this is probably the only time I'd ever use it, I can't justify doing that. I'm also waiting to hear back from TNT. If they're able to come thru with an existing cab solution (or if someone else does), I can start from there and move forward. |

Harbor Freight - $79.99 |

For the most part, I'm a big proponent of HF, and I've recommended them on a number of occasions here at BYOAC, however, there is one caveat I've discovered from them. For anything that needs to be "precise". Like "precisely level" or "precisely straight" or "precisely measured", I'd think twice. I'm local to a HF B&M store and have bought a TON of stuff there, but I've bought calipers that are inaccurate, something that should have been "square" that wasn't and a jigsaw that you can "angle for precise cuts" and there's no way to really lock it at 90-degrees (perpendicular to the wood). With that in mind, I'd be afraid that you'd buy that table saw (which can cut at multiple angles) and you'd never be able to get a perfectly precise exact perpendicular cut. My 4-cents. --- End quote --- If you just squared the blade and the table top with a good square... would that not give you good cuts??? I don't see why that wouldn't work. |
