I'm trying to decide on a table saw. I have a dewalt portable one, but I'm going to be remodeling another building, and making a permanent shop. My dewalt is too small, I don't have enough table in front or to the sides of the blade, and many times I'd like to cut glued up pieces, and they are just too long for the saw. I was leaning really hard towards a Powermatic 66, or a 2000. And then I saw some ads for the Jet..... And lots of guys talk about the Delta. I'd like something that's 3 or 5hp, single phase, and has a long rail for a fence - I can build/extend the tables for it, but it has to be built for that. I admit that I haven't done much research so far as models and features, but is there a certain brand to look for, or stay away from? I'm by no means a professional, this will be a hobby shop, but I don't want to fill the shop with junk tools. Most of the wood that I cut will be either red oak or black walnut.
