I have this table saw. Assuming that fence is the shop fox version, you will love it. But that now. I think that saw was almost 1200 bucks 15 years ago. I really like that those out feed rollers. It has a 4” dust port. I clean the blade off with sap remover on occasion but it just keeps on eating. The wings will come off for transport, but if you’re going in a basement , it’s a heavy gal.

Look for a used 220v cabinet saw (powermatic pm66, delta unisaw, grizzly g1021, etc.) any of those should be well under your budget and a huge upgrade from your bosch.

You will be amazed at what a 220v 2hp to 3hp induction motor will cut through.

^ This!

I have a 3hp single phase Unisaw and I've owned three, a good one will last your great grand kids the rest of their lives of taken care of as will a Powermatic PM66.

You are in my area and I have been watching table saws for a while. $500 and less. I picked up a boice crane monomaster, which is like my bucket list saw, so i'm set. But I was eyeing up several unisaws, mostly in northern IL. I almost pulled the trigger on a 1966 unisaw, 3 phase, but I waited for this one to become available. Don't be afraid of 3-phase, a VFD will get you going and I prefer 3 phase when I find it. There is zero drawbacks, other than buying the unit, and the positives make it well worth it.

That is a sweet deal, but timing isn't right for me to act on it. I have a garage in the middle of a remodel and I'm also on a work project away from home for another week or so. I really appreciate the bird doggin' on my behalf!

3 Phase and VFD really SHINE on a Lathe, Wood and Metal.

the way everything is right now brother, If that saw fill fit the bill, It might still be there, when you get home.
Cover it and leave it out side even.

My 4100 doesn't come close to competing with my Delta RT-31's 3hp rated motor. They both serve a purpose though. I don't know how accurate my Delta ratings are. Usually every one is trying to get a boost on their specs. So if my RT-31 isn't even 3 hp then I'd suggest my 4100 forgot a /4 after the 3.
