FInally got my own table saw

I had a small benchtop one I was using from a friend but he needed it back for a project. I finally decided it was time to add one to my shop. The main goal is to make amp cabinets and work on some wood ends for a few of my synths and enclosures. There is also a “honey do” list my wife has made for me. I searched for a few days to figure out what one I wanted. I did the obvious price, quality & features comparisons. Not only did I read customer reviews but I also looked for thoughts/reviews in woodworking forums.

I ended up going with the Kobalt KT1015 from Lowes. The price was good (There was a 50$ off anything over $250 coupon online) and there was some great video reviews on YouTube about this model. It has some faults but the portability and ease of setup outweighs them. Got the giant box home and with some help from my brother-in-law and 2 beers later we had it put together.

First thing I did was got a decent blade for it. I got a Diablo 60 tooth blade (D1060X) for a really smooth cut. I started to get a sled jig going so I can limit any tear out on the plywood.

Let the projects begin.
