I'm just returning to kayak building and this forum after a two year break. I've given myself more time, by retiring, and a much better workplace by buying a home in Canandaigua, New York (and I just moved from California) with a good sized workshop (and a wood stove).
My other kayak builds were stitch and glue. Now I wish to make strip built boats, and need some tools.
My first purchase will be a table saw. I'm confused about what I need. Friends have expensive cabinet saws that they argue for as the only way to make clean consistent cuts. However, it seems like adding the cove and bead edges with a router cuts down on the need for such a fine saw.
My guess is that a good quality contractors saw will do.
I've also been reading about in between saws called hybrid saws.
I do expect to do some modest home repair work. The most complex of that is making replacement shutters.
thank you in advance
