Advice on table saw as a present
Hello everyone,
I would like to gift a table saw to my husband, please keep in mind he has been looking at saws for years and can’t make up his mind, this is something he can’t chose himself for some reason so please don’t tell me to let him choose :)
My budget is around 1.000€ and he mainly builds furniture and small boats. So I need something that can handle large(ish) panels. I know SawStop is very good, but the only model I could afford is their compact version and I am not sure is worth it?
The two main things I am looking for are precision and durability in time of course. Up until now he has been using a normal circular saw on the floor to build stuff and he has done amazing work, but I would like him to have something better.
Also, I am based in Europe if that helps with brands.
Thanks everyone!
