Table Saw???
Table Saw???
I realize that this may be an oxymoron but what is the most inexpensive table saw that you would recommend for cutting strips? Thanks for your opinion. ET

I use a cheap 100.00 on sale harbor freight saw with a rip blade on it.

Re: Table Saw???
for smaller cuts like for wood strip, spend the money on a good, THIN, kerf blade.

I bought a $100 Lowe's special a few years ago and it's done a good job. But the more robust saw you get, the better assurance you'll have of getting consistent cuts.
Woodtek and Grizzly are supposedly good brands.

If you do go with a inexpensive "hobby" saw, I highly recommend building your own quality fence. The fence that comes with the cheaper saws is crapola and will be the biggest pain.

I love those blades. I was recently ripping Oak boards with one and it went through them like butter. The same blade cut my cedar strips like it was cutting through air.
