Hello all,

Still trying to figure out the best tablesaw solution. I would like to know if any of you have experience with the Shop Smith Mark V (newer version with speed control dial). I like the concept, but I'm not real keen on the tablesaw in that you have to tilt the table instead of the arbor- however, I rarely make beveled cuts anyway. I mainly need a saw for ripping. Most beveled cuts are going to be small crosscuts and I can use a miter saw for those. How well does this thing rip? I like the idea of the lathe/drill press/sander/tablesaw all taking up one small space. If the thing can rip fairly well and if it is accurate and easy to adjust accurate angles I might consider one.
