I started out a couple years ago in a spoon workshop and have been escalating my woodworking ever since. I found this site while gathering info on a small table saw. My father was a woodworker and I now wish I had paid much more attention. . .

For the past year I've been making small furniture with a borrowed table saw. I have a very small shop and it's pretty full with band saw, sander, planer, joiner, drill press etc. I'm looking at the 10" Jet 708315 with the stand and the Grizzly GO444. Any comments on either for my situation?

Look at the Ridgid TS3660 too. Compared to the Grizzly, it has solid wings, 36" rip capacity, comes with a mobile base, and it's about $100 less. I'm not saying it's a BETTER saw, but I am saying it's equivalent for less money. At least take a look.

I've looked online and can't find anyone who sells the Ridgid TS3660. . .did it come and go already? I can't find it new or even on Craigs list. I did find a few forums talking about it. . .any idea where I could look? Maybe I missed it. . .

However, it looks like a large saw, based on a couple pictures posted on this forum. . my shop is small, very small. I usually pull my shop tools to the carport to work, so I need to be able to put it on wheels. I know I want a belt drive, but it has to be a small one. Thus, my dilemma!

PS - Right now I'm making small furniture pieces. I'm using old walnut and cherry rough lumber in up to 6/4 and 10" x 8 foot pieces. That's what I need to cut. . .I can't cut a straight line on a bandsaw!!
