Great space and great shop! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks to both of you.

HighPointWW, I looked at your workshop and it is quite impressive. You have some fantastic work stations and I’d have to hire someone to keep my shop that neat and organized. It looks like we have some similar tastes in machinery. I have a Grizzly jointer and table saw and I also have the Bosh Axial Glide chop saw. My Grizzly stuff is a little older than yours, especially the table saw. I have been very satisfied with the service I’ve gotten from both of them. The Bosh chop saw is a beast and unlike any other chop saw I’ve ever pulled the trigger on. And I’ve seen a bunch of different stuff over the years. Being in the apartment building business I’ve seen my subs drag a lot of different saws out of the back of a truck or van but for my nickel, nothing compares to the Axial Glide. How do you like yours?

@Mark – I’ve been lucky with most of my equipment. Most of the Grizzly equipment, and JET planer/jointer (not pictured) only required minimal tweaking and adjusting.
As for the Bosch, I went with the 10” model to keep all my blades one size. Mine is permanently mounted to my saw station and I do not lug it around to job sites, but if I did, I’d imagine I’d be looking for something lighter. I did tighten to glide slightly as it was a bit ‘too’ easy to move, and added the blade washer laser. Other than that, very happy with the saw.

HighPointWW, I didn’t even know they made a 10” version. I know exactly what you mean about the weight. Definitely not something you would want to lug in and out of the truck and into a house to work. Mine has not moved since I bolted it down to the work station.
