Just had a look. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, that report, by it's very length, defends itself against the risk of ever being read!

By me at least! Until I'm less busy, and considerably more bored. ;)

50 pages of that content makes it long!

From what I did read it could be a little more succinct, like this…

Thinking of doing something stupid? - Don't!
Not sure whether it's stupid? - Don't do it, it's probably stupid!
Going to do it any way? - Don't be a d!ck, it's stupid!

:)

I'm going to buy a table-saw from the USA and a dado set to go with it.

If you obey those safety rules completely, you would only ever use your table-saw for ripping and at a stretch cross-cutting. (And maybe panel reducing.) I suppose ripping is all the saw was really designed for, but with care you can cut joints on the TS; for which you must remove the guard of course!

:text-bravo: John.
I felt very much the same as you when I started out but rather than import form the US,I went for the then Woodford Xcalibur which was a Chinese copy of a delta UNIsaw. The no longer sell that model but the new one I'm told by those who have them is even better than the Xcalibur.
You might want to look at their offering and compared costs with the shipping, import duty and the dreaded VAT on the lot.
If like me you like to cut joints on the TS, then the delta style tenoning jig often sold by Rutlands on special offer is a good buy. I'm not a great fan of rutlands but sign up to their weekly offer mails where some basic gadgets, when on offer, can be good buy.

Why bother with using a tablesaw, when it is much quicker and FAR SAFER to use a router than a dado blade in a saw.
