American made tablesaws?

Question

I am looking to buy a table saw in the near future. I'd kind of like to get one made in the US. Does anyone have a list of all the American manufacturers that make tablesaws. Price is not an issue.

Answer 1

Hey everyone...Remember Ryan said price was no object. If this is truly the case; I recommend either a Jet, or a Delta 12" cabinet saw. Those contractor saws just don't have enough cast iron, and are impossible to control with dust collection. The added weight makes glass smooth cuts, by reducing vibrations. A 12" saw has more power, and is capable of re-sawing timber. Now Ryan needs a fence. Ryan; If you are a traditionalist, get a Biesmeyer fence. If you like gadgets, or are doing precise work, get a Incra-fence. After you get all of that, E-mail me. I'll hop the pond to cut in your shop!

Jet, Delta, Powermatic. Old Craftsman were good, but now they aren't up to snuff.

But one of the best saws I have used was a 50+ year old Powermatic with a new Beisermeyer Fence. It was in the millshop of a company where I used to work. They got it from a high school that was auctioning a bunch of woodworking tools. Also got a drill press, lathe, planer and jointer. All for a lot less than new. It is true, they don't make them like they used to.

It depends what you are using it for. I'd say 2hp belt drive motor on 220V. And a long for fence, four feet at least, that slides easily and locks firmly down. The fence needs to operate at least 24" on both sides of the blade. A high quality fence is one of the most important parts of the table saw. And you need an outfeed table at least 6' (you make that yourself) beyond the blade. That should cover most woodworking projects. If need more than that, then you are doing something specialized, and go talk to an area millshop. They can help more.

There is a saying, "It is a poor carpenter that blames his tools." There is a kernel of truth there, but if you have the means buy the best equipment you can, but that doesn't always mean most expensive.

Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
