Table saw

[woodyray]

Hi

I'm looking to buy a table saw for hobby use, up to £180.

The Fox F36-522 at £136 looks interesting, in that it has 3 year parts guarantee.

Does anyone have this model and can comment on it?
Do Fox power tools have a good reputation?

I would be interested to hear what other makes/models forum members recommend.

Regards

Ray

I have a triton saw table, quite happy with it. + it folds away and lives under the worktop in the office.

this is quite a good saw for the money
you can actually mount a router underneath on the rhside

hi, I purchased a Fox F36-522 10'' table saw in July this year.
Just had it back from manufacturers the motor burnt out, they said it was because there was to much saw dust in the motor.
I don't see how as I was using the supplied stand and an extraction system.
Just cut a piece of 2''x2''pine which it strugled to cut.
I wish I had brought another make.
