We need a new table saw at the space. The old saw has many issues and it's become too much of a liability to keep using. We were thinking of purchasing a saw stop like the one in the link below. It's a job site model that can collapse down and be moved easily.
What do you think?

That looks good and I support this 100% even though I'm broke, I worry about that model having stability issues though.

A new table saw would be awesome

I am on board for having a sawstop
version of table saw as I believe it will help with safety.
That particular model seems to make sense for the space given, granted, maybe we should look into flat out making a space in the wood work/fabrication area for a more permanent one.
As for funds I pay my dues, I am happy to chip in a little extra. I am also willing to meet up and help you all put together a kickstarter or equivalent fundraiser together.
Myself and the convergent media collective along with the board at the time raised almost 13K for the laser cutter you all have.
Basically what it takes to have funds raised like this is some innovative rewards, a marketing and PR campaign and some time commitment by a sub committee to make sure it is all followed through on.
If interested in having me help just give me a call at 512-413-7832.

Ken, Don, folks
I've been thinking a lot about this and some people are not going to agree. However...
One of the things that I like about 10bit and makerspaces in general is that the idea is to be able to not only network with people, but to have access to tools that you might not be able to have at home. Like a real table saw.
The primary concern that brought this up was an accident. So that is a safety issue which we can greatly reduce the likelihood of a re-occurrence of through training, but never totally eliminate. A sawstop is the best choice for almost completely reducing the chances of another accident. Hell, if the thing is going to be put in a closet and trotted out when needed, then there's a good chance that someone is going to wrench their back or tip it over on someones foot... or a hundred other things. So it will never totally eliminate injury, especially if it's being trundled around.
But if we were to get another saw, I'd want it to be at least something that doesn't trade utility for safety.
A good saw would have
- a larger table (especially the outfeed) than the jobsite saws
- A sturdier and more accurate fence than the jobsite saws. I'll give that almost any fence on a modern saw is better than what we have now. And the newer fences (and properly installed guards) can reduce the chances of kick back, which according to James, was the real culprit in his accident.
- A really good miter guage (again, what we have is A) not that great, and 2) NEVER NEAR THE SAW. Sorry, pet peeve about finding tools around here.
- extensibility - maybe we don't need a 30" extension table now, but what about in the future?
A step up to the contractor saw would at least give us comparable usage with increased safety if we went with the saw stop. But if we were to go with another, non-sawstop type of machine, we'd still be safer.
Especially if we were to step up and create a training regimen and maybe a certification program.
Just my $.0002 cents

Me and Ken went the other day to WoodCraft on the Northside.
They have all 4 models up for display.
Since then we've been thinking about getting the contractor saw.
The jobsite saw admittedly, is not stable, as it wobbles easily. And is really meant for more small work than what we normally do.
We think the contractor saw would be a better choice. But it does increase the price from $1500 to $2000.
Here is a link to the build were looking at getting.

So for anybody wanting to contribute to the fund raiser.
We currently have 4 people contributing a total of $1000. That means we are half way to our $2000 goal.
If you want to contribute let us know the dollar amount.
If you want to do so privately. Message me at james....@10bitworks.org
Anything helps.

Hi guys, sorry for being so late to the game - table saw access is 50% of why I'm a 10bit member (and I just built a DIY table saw that is better than the old craftsman saw).
Access to a sawstop table saw would be great! I've been lucky enough to use a sawstop in the past, and they're great!
What's the status of this project? Still looking for donors?

Hmm, well I suppose I'll mosey on over in a few hours to go admire the new shiny toy.
Many thanks to the wonderful people who made this happen! Now the guessing game begins - who will be the first person to trigger the sawstop sensor?
A word of caution since we also have laser cutters:
laser cut wood WILL trigger the saw stop - carbonized wood is a "good enough" conductor
A lesson from the PS1 hackerspace in Chicago: turn off the SawStop safety sensor when cutting wood that has seen the insides of a laser cutter.
Other things that will trigger the safety sensor:
- Any mirrored or shiny fancy finish on acrlic (often contains aluminum flakes or thin metal coating)
- Mylar coatings (contains aluminum)
- Aluminum (duh)
