Having had a recent incident involving the table saw and my left thumb (stitches have been out for two weeks) caused in part by working on larger widths of wood when saw fence only opens to 12 inches from blade. ( I couldn't accept full responsibility) I decided to get a larger saw. I did. Lots larger. 52 inch capacity. 3 hp.

Brand: Saw Stop

Supposedly it won't cut you badly.

I was encouraged to go ahead and get it by the CEO (same one who forced me to get cab and air on tractor.)
Now I am committed to making a bunch of cabinets, storage, shelving, furniture etc to save money vs hiring a pro and thus amortize the saw cost. I'm still a little embarrassed at the $ I spent!
