The TSC-10HB will only support a 15mm dado vs 19mm despite having more grunt, dissapointing. i also note it has a 2 HP motor vs the 3 HP for the TSC-10HB. I realise the KS-12K is a contractor saw and understand the drawbacks. accordingly the more versatile the better. The saw is for a home shop for hobby use but i want it to last a lifetime.
Obviously i'm leaning towards the cheaper of the two but may be swayed to spend the extra $$ if its definitely worth it. RRP from carbatec is $995 for KS-12K and $1699 for TSC-10HB. i've read most of the posts and have narrowed down my choice to these two machines. Ok, i know the 'which table saw question' has been done to death on this forum.
