I really want to get my husband a table saw for Christmas but I have no idea what to look for!!! I want it to be a surprise so I can’t grill him about the features he wants with it. He wants to use one for hobbies and to make some furniture (dressers, loft beds, etc.) He doesn’t need a hefty duty one for large projects but doesn’t want a cheap one either. Can some handy guy give me some help??
How much does the horsepower motor matter?
Makita, Dewalt, Craftsman from Sears, they’re all good. But what makes a saw cut properly is the blade or the teeth. The more, the better. You can spend as much or as little as you want. Anything around $200 to $300, will be a good investment. As for small projects for his hobbies, the above mentioned are excellent. My husband has both, the Makita and Craftsman and has built extensions on our home with them. They are your best bet. I think he will love any one. You know boys and their toys.Merry Christmas.
Both of his are 7 1/4 and 13 amps. Hope this helps. They are both easy to handle. My husband said that 15 amps are better, good power. These are all Cricular Saws.
He also has A Craftsman 10 inch, 15 amps, 3.0 hp which he paid $100 for on sale from Sears a few years back. He is very happy with it. Works Great. This one is a Table Saw.
