I have had one for almost 3 years and love it. The cast iron tables and wheels are nice. Very solid saw. So far the saw has done everything I wanted it to do.

The tension spring is strong and the saw runs great. The only thing I would change would be to wire it up for 220V if you have 220 in your shop.

The only complaint is that 1/4" blades do not want to stay centered or they stretch out too quickly, so I use 3/8" or 1/2" blades most of the time.

The reason I got the 14" saw was like you, I had limited space but wanted the capability to resaw veneers if I chose to do so.

If you are strapped for cash though, I would definitely check out the used market or the display models at the local store. You may get a hidden jewel by shopping around.
