Fred, It seems the table saw is generally more versatile, especially for long straight cuts and good square cross cuts. Bans saw is more usefull for anything that involves curves. The best advice I have read up on always says to get a good table saw first, then other types depending on your needs.
As one guy put it "the table saw is to the woodworker what the fishing rod is to the angler"
 :)
finding mine very useful. I suppose I could have bought the strip wood, but then I like the hands on experience of making my own.
Plus it is very handy for very fine cuts to make them fit properly.
Hope that helps
I probably need to invest in a dust extractor too  :-X, any experience on these Fred or anyone else?

All the best.
PS looking forward to meeting you Fred, so I can say I have met the legend  8)

Hi Barry,

   re the dust I have an old dyson type vacuum connected to mine. Still need to clean the inside out after every use. I ordered the thicknesser/planer last week and looking forward to the new "Stripper" in the workshop.

Fred, the table saw is worth its weight in gold, I use it for everything, just make sure to but the more expensive model, it will last a lifetime.

Hi Ralph, yes Im the same, an old vacuum cleaner for the mo. Hope your missus doesn't object to stripper, might explain why your in the shed all the time >:D
I would like to see that as I was intrigued by it, but not to the tune of around €500. Might take a trip over to look at it.
Fred Ralph is right , go for the FET saw, it is well built with nice features. and surprisingly quiet , until you start to cut of course ::)
