A friend of mine is interested in purchasing
a table saw. He's kind of narrowed it down
to either a powermatic 66 w/Biesemeyer or a
rockwell unisaw w/Biesemeyer. First, he thinks
that these saws would have much higher resale
value than a contractors type saw, not that he
plans to sell it, and they are certainly made
better than contractors saws. He wants a 3 hp
motor, which contractor saws don't usually have.
220v/single phase is the target.
Canadian tool houses have a version of the unisaw
that sells for much less than in the US (actually
its supposedly the same saw with a different kind
of power on mechanism). Is this a good deal?
Right now, he's leaning toward the powermatic because
it comes with the Biesemeyer. Any opinions out there?
What about other saws in this catagory (~$2000)?
thanks in advance
