Sunhill Machinery - Oliver 10-in. Cabinet Saw 4015
This new Taiwan-made saw comes with the old Oliver name.
Jun 01, 2006
The author looked at 13 popular 3-hp, 220v 10-in. cabinet saws. In addition to evaluating the saws for power and safety, he also tested for tabletop flatness, for runout at the arbor shaft and arbor flange, and for parallelism of the blade to the miter slot. He found that all the saws offered plenty of power, solid rip fences, smooth controls, and flat tabletops. The Oliver 4015 comes with an old U.S.A.-made name on a new Taiwan-made saw. It offers a digital readout for blade tilt, and an extension table and legs are optional.

Ridgid R4331 Planer
Priced nearly $300 less than the DeWalt 735X, the Ridgid R4331 is an excellent value. Its three-knife cutterhead left wonderfully clean surfaces on plainsawn white oak and white pine. It did not perform nearly as well on curly maple as the 735X.
Starrett 12-in. combination square
This accurate, robust, well-machined, easy-to-read combo square is as great as ever.
