Sunhill Machinery - Cabinet Saw TAS-12
Sunhill now offers a 2 hp 10-in. cabinet saw available as model No. CT-250 T
Jun 01, 1999
We liked the generous table size and the ability to switch the arbor spindles for either a 10-in. or a 12-in. blade. However, for the price, many aspects were rough. The machines edges had not been deburred and were hazardous. The fence was difficult to set parallel to the blade and needed to be adjusted often.
For a full review on this saw, read the June 1999 article from Fine Woodworking magazine, available on the Fine Woodworking Network.

Rockler Dust Right 650 CFM
While all five of the smaller units will collect chips efficiently when deployed properly, the 3/4-hp Rockler was just a bit more powerful in our suction test.
Grizzly G0495X Industrial Helical Cutterhead 8-in. Jointer
Regardless of the board’s grain, this jointer produced excellent results. Its fence was totally flat, worked smoothly, and locked well, staying in place even after jointing multiple edges. Getting the fence to 90° was very easy, but the 90° stop was a little tricky to set and the fence did not go back to square when using it. For those who would use it, there is also a digital depth-of-cut scale.
