Although it is far off a proper table saw, I bought a second hand Triton Workbench fitted with a Makita 5903 saw (for a ridiculous price). I can do all types of cuts, but it does require a bit of effort because the fence is not installed on a slider system, can't fit a dado and the work surface is only about 700 x 600 mm. This solution would cost you about R 15 000.

 

But if you intend to do some semi-commercial work, I suggest you take the plunge and buy the Jet.

I was thinking of this Triton table saw module, and build it into a cabinet.

Laser cut some 5+ mm sheet metal, and make your own fence. But it can't take dado blades.

Lovely. Hand cut or Jig dovetails? Not that it matters. Still looks perfect.

Quick question.

 

What is the best/easiest way to make box joints in plywood?

I like this guy's method;

 

Maybe just tape the edges and/or clamp an extra piece of wood over the cutting area to prevent splintering.

So where can one get dado stacks in SA? I have never been able to find these.

No idea. I don't think they conform to many safety standards, which is why one can't find them everywhere. But ebay is always an option.

Or a router table set up similarly? Will just take longer to make the cuts.

Or a normal blade on your ts - you'll just have to make more cuts with thinner fingers.

Thanx. Guy at Apple concurs.

 

BTW, talking of safety, looks like Sawstop has arrived in SA in a big way. Just saw a Sawstop Mobile Contractor's Saw at Apple.

 

Same as this one:

Just make sure your saw has a long enough arbour shaft, the absolute majority of EU bound machines only come with short shafts that can't take dado stacks (ask me I have been down this road)

One can use a similar method on a Router table.  Check out a few video's on Youtube.

Make a Biesemeyer type fence if you are going to make anything and it will be pretty peachy after that.
