I just bought my first real table saw yesterday, a Delta 34-410 contractor saw for $200 from a cabinet shop that had closed down. When I got the saw home, I took off the dado blade that had been installed it and found out it is a Forrest 8" Dado King that appears to be a complete set. I looked them up online and they seem to go for about $300 new!
So here's my question: should I keep it and bask in my good fortune or try to sell it and re-invest the money in another piece of equipment like a drill press or a planer? I'm just starting out with woodworking as a hobby and don't have any grand plans to make a lot of furniture. Mostly stuff for around my own home.
For the hobbyists out there, is it worth having such a high quality set? Could I get by with a router and skip the dado blades altogether? Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
