Saw accuracy

[taiko_tim]

I've spent a few hours reading through a lot of the post about table saws to try to get an idea of what to look for when buying for about $1000. I'm looking to buy something decent instead and replace the old crappy Ryobi that is currently taking up space in the shed.

The main purpose (much to my wifes frustration) is for cutting angles on slats to construct drums (she would like me to build more practical things esp for the kitchen).

I've been looking and reading up on a number of saws and have begun to come down to choosing from the following

LEDACRAFT MJ-2325CB
Carbatec MJ2325B
Woodfast TS25ORC

The big question I have is which of these (or something else) is the most accurate when cutting bevels. For drums - i need something pretty close and able to cope with 6 degree cuts.
Also need to have something reasonable good for getting the kitchen projects done

thanks

Hi Taiko and welcome to the forum.

For $1000 have you looked at Dewalt , Makita, Hitachi.

What else do you require in the saw? (sliding compund mitre function) i.e what else will it be used for. The more you tell us the more opinions and help you'll get on the pros and cons of each saw.

For specific cuts I'd suggest you look at a Wixey Digital Angle gauge for setting the t/saw blade at the right angle and maybe too an Incra Mitre Gauge, both of which can be found here http://www.woodworksupplies.com.au/

When you say slats for drums, do you mean staves? If so, I would say the Woodfast would probably the most suitable as you'll be able to rip narrow pieces using the sliding table

poor word usage - yep meant staves

width and length depends on the drums being made.
