Lobo Machinery Corp. - Cabinet Saw TS-1010
Lobo has built a cabinet-style saw with industrial grade features.
Jun 01, 1999
This saw has a cast-iron throat plate, as is found on larger industrial machines, and the fence was the best of those in its price range. But overall, its fit and finish were mediocre. The miter gauge had a flimsy, thin scale that was crudely trimmed. Lobo was unable to replace a part damaged during shipping.
For a full review on this saw, read the June 1999 article from Fine Woodworking magazine, available on the Fine Woodworking Network.

Shop Fox W1826
The thick, felted bag on this Shop Fox is a plus and a minus. On one hand, it makes the unit much less expensive than collectors with canister filters, and also lighter and easier to hang on the wall. Without a separate plastic bag to catch chips, however, they stay in the felt bag, and the shortish zipper on the bottom makes it tough to shake them out. Otherwise, the W1826 is an excellent value.
