Since I've been doing more and more cabinet and furniture work than construction type activities, I feel it may be time to invest in a cabinet saw. Space is an issue. I currently have a Bosch 4000 with the gravity rise stand which has been perfect, except for cutting hardwood and the fence isn't all that great.

Could I make improvements to my Bosch better or move up to a cabinet saw. My price range is around $1000 and what is the best saw in that price range.

I'm running a Jet and couldn't get along without it. If you're in business, this might be a place where debt will pay off. If you have to produce, a top quality cabinet saw is a necessity. I only wish I had a 14 inch instead of a 10.

I would say if you think you will use it, spring for the cabinet saw instead of spending more time and money on the contractors saw. I agree with Tom about a Unisaw in Craigslist. A used saw will be a lot better quality in your price range. The best thing is that since you already have a saw you can afford to wait for the perfect deal.
