New Table saw.

Yes, quite so. The general rule is simple enough - sort of static rating - 2200Watts = 3HP. Then they may get cute and quote power delivered, as you say - like rated HP and drawbar HP on a tractor not being the same. Or, in former times, English cars being rated at so many HP for tax purposes - which was a pure calculation I think.

Aussie cars were charged like that at one stage - I thought it was just a tax dodge.

I went to Geelong on Thursday and was looking around one of the hardware suppliers there and they had them on special for 699 (100 off their normal price of 799) so I was a bit cheesed off to say the least. They also had the DW735 thicknesser (3 knoife model) for 1150 on special( I paid 1250 for mine in a deal when I bought a bandsaw as well.).
Shop around mate and they ARE the ducks guts. Rated for continuous use which is great also.
Cheers

Can you recall the name of the place in Geelong Shedhand? My credit card's itchy ;-}

Compared to the Triton with the big makita its like comparing a bee with an F18A as far as noise goes.

The bee is quieter but is better than the F18A. Does this mean the Triton is better than your new Table Saw because it was noisier?

No George. The t/s is as quiet as a bee, the triton is as loud as an F18A Hornet.
