hi Steve,

the maxcut program only works with windows, but here you have an equivalent to Mac.
all dimensions are in metric, here you can see how to change them.

if I have to choose... I think my choice would be the portable for home and the table saw for the workshop where I have much more space. Let me try to explain the advantages of both:

Portable Workshop:
-Compact. If you don't have much space at home
-Portable. You can move it wherever you want in your car
-Scroll saw, you don't have it in the Table saw

Table Saw:

-More capacity and stability to cut long boards
-Best dust collection system
-Bigger table sled
-Horizontal router accessory

About the Inverted jig saw, I think you could easily adapt it to the table saw in the opposite side of the router.


Si tengo que elegir ... creo que mi elección sería el Workshop Portáble para un pequeño garaje y la Sierra de Mesa para un taller en el que tengo más espacio. Voy a tratar de explicar las ventajas de ambos:

Workshop Portable:
-Compacto, si usted no tiene mucho espacio en casa.
-Portátil, puede moverse fácilmente e incluso transportar en su coche.
-Los planos contienen la sierra de marquetería(caladora invertida)

Sierra de mesa:
-Más capacidad y estabilidad para cortes largos.
-Mejor sistema de evacuación del polvo.
-Accesorio fresadora horizontal

Acerca de la sierra de calar invertida, se podría fácilmente adaptar a la Sierra de Mesa en el lado opuesto de la fresadora.
