Thanks everyone! I hope to be able to get a byrnes table saw but until that time comes, I'll do in depth research on saws at the hardware stores!

It's really sad. My friend I'm building it for was stationed on the Fitzgerald, he checked out of the command 4 months prior to the accident and found out while he was in school for a new NEC. He knew all those guys and was very close with a couple of them. Making sure this model is amazing for him and it has a good case to go with it!

Thanks for the replies everyone! As of right now, most of the kits I build are Arleigh Burke DDG's and Ticonderoga CG's, I have a some WW2 era kits in my stash for myself. But the DDG and CG, the models aren't longer than 21 inches so the cases will be about 25 inches in length. I plan on using cherry wood and whatever hardwood looks good to me at the mill. Will a proxxon on byrnes do the trick? It's a shame about Jim passing, I've had his website open on my browser waiting to order a table saw for a few months now. Would love his table saw but I do not want to bother his family in their time of mourning.

Hello everyone! I primarily build plastic scale models, huge focus on modern USN as I'm active duty. I just recently opened a little side "business" since I've had fellow shipmates, chiefs, and officers that want a model of a specific ship they were on. Some of them have requested a display case for them as they'll be moving around a lot to new duty stations. My question to yall is, which table saw do I need? Can I get away with a tablesaw from Home Depot or Lowes? Or do I need something like MicroLux, Proxxon, or Byrnes? I plan on using hardwood as I know someone that has there own mill. Thanks for the help everyone! I'll be posting my current build of the USS Fitzgerald DDG-62 soon!
