good show

I agree about the changing of the blades and brakes on the Sawstop, great tool but Pain in the butt. Now really considering a second one to do as Logan suggested to dedicate one to the ripping and crosscut and one to the dado blade.

But would you attach them together? Or arrange them separately.

[@jimcarroll1005]

I would do as you say, join them together and even consider the router attachment , You could lose one of the wings in between them so not to make it too long. my main issue is that I use the incra fence at the moment so may take a bit of reorganization on that part but I think doable. Overall using less workspace and combining all together . Its not like you use the table saw and the router at the same time.@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine

Have you noticed how Mike Farrington has put his 2 table saws together.@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine

Ouch ... I think Logan's pictures or BS comment is a reflection on finishing cabinet doors and drawers for an office somewhere ... maybe ... OK, I'll try to get pictures sooner than later. LOL. Regarding two table saws ... here's a random thought ... considering how much Logan likes having multiple lathes and how much y'all love Shopsmith - kill 2 birds with one stone - set up the Shopsmith for dados and lathe work - it would be a quick change over from one function to the other, relatively small foot print, especially compared to another PCS and at a much lower cost! I might be able to help hook you up with one ... 😁

Ive been meaning to comment, but Logan, if you're looking for a great machining channel...especially manual machining...check out Brandon at Inheritance Machining here on the Tubes. He's a great teacher and very talented. Nothing against Mr. Pete, he's excellent too. As to the letters, I had hoped that Phil might have responded to the comments about advertising with "This is Woodsmith 2.0 the Search for More Money."

I mean show me a small business in a competitive field that says "No thanks. We're good on the revenue we have."

Ditto “Woke Woodworking” Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry that this splinter (snort) ….. stuff showed up in this forum. After hearing you all talk through it I’m recentered and a better person and woodworker for it all.

[@TG_Akins]

In all seriousness, i think having the luxury of space to have 2 table saws is the dream i would think having them back to back to act as the out-feed for each other. but, a close second is having them side-by-side in the wing of a larger saw

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

I never really considered Logan's idea before. I had always thought the back-to-back model was the way to go.

[@WalterRiggs]

These letters are killing me. Complaining about “wokeness” and “not enough of X demographic” tells on these people so hard. Their hobbies aren’t woodworking, their hobbies are reading publications with an agenda in mind.
