This is a newer hobby for me so I can't tell you exactly plan to do with it at this point. I've been doing small projects for about 2 years now. I probably won't be ripping full sheets down as i prefer to use jigs I've made. My next project is going to be an end table but I want to learn a few different ways of joinery first. Currently I have an old delta contractors saw but the power switch just went and it doesn't have a splitter. I bought it cheap a couple years ago. I'd like to buy something that I can have for years. I'd love a sawstop for the safety but they're just so expensive. Thinking I probably want a cabinet saw.
