    I mean, I’m sure there’s a statistic that someone can look up but as many people as are on the planet, I feel like there would always be someone within shouting distance if not closer. I guess it really depends on how fast the earth is moving and what the frame of reference is.








  • I got a delta 36-725T2, it was around $650 when I got it, looks like it’s gone up around $50 since then, but I still think that’s a good deal.

    The fence is super solid, the saw is on wheels but they retract for a super stable feel, I really like it.

    That being said, if you can’t buy a quality new saw (plan to spend at least $500 and harbor freight is NOT quality) I would start scouring the classifieds.

    Any older craftsman 10" saw will be worth a look. Delta, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, and Rigid are also solid brands.

    You should mainly narrow down if you are looking for a portable saw or not.

    If you have an area you can dedicate to woodworking, I would highly recommend a cabinet or contractor saw. The stability and capacity you gain over a bench top or job site saw cannot be overstated. That said, if you do need a portable saw I would recommend a job site saw over a bench top model if you can afford it.

    I cannot make any recommendation on portable saws, but for me, I was between the Rigid R4560 and the Delta. I ended up getting the Delta simply due to the fact that I felt the fence was a bit more stable. There are upgrades for both models, so really it’s just a personal preference.

    Bro, 15a is pretty much standard with 20a outlets being the exception. Still, most appliances are only 1500w in the US.

    Yes obviously you could custom make a 4500w kettle that ran on 115v but nobody sells one.

    Your comment demonstrates a fundamental ignorance… What? Who talks like that. Stupid pedantic fool.
