So I'm a hobbyist about to do a big move to Canada and have to decide what to do with my tools. I'll have a 12'X19' garage, which is slightly bigger than my current shop. When I get to my new house I've decided it's time to buy my first table saw. I'm definitely getting a sawstop but I'm unsure which one to get.
Most of my tools (Festool MFT, TS 55, OF 101, Kapex, Carvex, CXS, TXS, etc) are coming with but I made a large 60"X30" router table last summer using an Incra LS 25 supersystem with a Mast-R-Lift ll and cleansweep dust collection cabinet. I could take all the components out of the table and carefully pack them up for a move. Then when I arrive I could get a contractor saw and buy the Incra conversion kit with a new table saw router top insert. This would take up a lot of space in my small shop, but I think I can work around it.
The other option is to dump my Incra stuff here, go with a Festool CMS VL so it attaches to my MFT and can be disassembled. For the table saw, I could then get the jobsite sawstop so it also can be out of the way.
I have not actually seen my new garage but I know the dimensions. I just don't want to ship something heavy only not to use it. I guess I could just bring it and then sell it when I arrive if I don't need it. Thanks for any suggestions.
