  1. Hello GLakie, I have made 6 models from kits and now I am finishing my 2nd model made from scratch. They were mostly entry level kits but now I find it more interesting and challenging in making models from scratch from ships or boats that I like working on. That's why I wanted to buy the table saw. I agree with you that in the end buying a reliable saw like Jim Byrnes, it will pay off, but for now I may have to keep buying supplies online. Thank you for your responce
  2. KeithW thank you for the link. Very interesting and I got a lot to learn about it. The reason I wanted a table saw was that I wanted to cut my own stripes the size that I want and from the lubber that I prefer. Currently I am making a Greek fishing vessel from scratch and I can say that buying the wood supplies for it didn't come very cheap and a lot of times i needed other supplies that i found from the leftovers from the older kits that i made in the past. I will see what I will do in the future maybe with more simple tools i will be able to cut thin lumber or I might get a reliable table saw for that use. I would like to thank you all for responding to this topic. Wish you all a happy new year
  3. Thank you all for your time and your replies. I appreciate all of your comments. I don't have any experience using table saw. Thank you for mentioning the manual it is useful. The Byrnes table saw seems to be perfect but the price is a little over my budget, but sometimes you get what you pay for. The proxxon KS230 looks good but maybe i might have to wait a little more to get something more accurate. Thank you again for your comments, i might end up buying stripes for now and in the future I will consider your advice happy holidays
  4. Hello everyone, My name is George and I this is my first topic. I have built about 5 wooden ship kits and I think now it is time for me to make one from scratch. I want to cut my own wooden stripes but I am not very familiar with the table saws that are available in the market. I am not willing to spend more than 200$. I would appreciate your opinion, helping me decide what table saw would be the best for making wooden model ships. Happy holidays to all
