John Morris Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Dear folks, I have been in a quandary lately, I have some extra funds for this year, and I would like to purchase a table saw. But I cannot decide which one I want, so I am coming to the membership to help me decide. You'll see a poll I created with the table saws I have in mind to purchase. Can you please participate in my poll, and vote for the brand you find most reliable in your experience. Thanks! This is a test topic for our new polling feature, please see tutorial at: Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips N Dust Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 John, There are 2 brands that I do not see on your poll? Jet and SawStop. I know you probably only have room for "X" many choices on the poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just plain cool! You Rock Mr. Morris! Experimenting a little, I see I can change (Edit) my vote. Once the normal Edit window closes does that option end (close my vote)?

Popular Post Cal Posted March 17, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 This may be a great (and fun) option John. I can see one of the early polls... which donut do you reach for first chocolate, glazed, or the one on top??? One suggestion for this I might make. Could the actual poll be under the post which requests it? It may not be, as other sites I frequent have the poll right there at the start also. Using your poll as an example for my reasoning - the poll asks brand of saw we prefer. Your post, however, wants our experience in regards to reliability. Two very different questions; and I would not have been able to vote as to reliability. I've owned two table saws and neither of them gave me any problems... I know it was just a test, but something for members to think about as they create a poll. Good job and I think it will be a great addition to the site.

schnewj Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I was about to fuss at you John. Asking us to recommend a table saw without any parameters. Then I saw it was just a test. Awesome, that you took the time to do this. I think it could be a useful tool for a lot of people. HARO50 and John Morris 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal, I am hoping that this function will be used diligently as I stated in the Tutorial for using the poll "I would like to encourage all to use this function with respect and due diligence, in other words don't create polls just to create polls, please use this feature for meaningful, serious information gathering." Yep, as you noted it was just a test, I could have asked about apples or oranges and which one makes a better t-shirt, for testing purposes, not a whole lot of thought went into my test poll, but you bring up a great point, folks need to really think about how their poll is presented if they want to get proper feedback they desire. Great feedback Cal HARO50, p_toad, Dadio and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morris Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 @Cal, forgot about your concern for the position of the Poll, with some programming magic I may be able to shift it below the topic, depending on how it's configured in the core software, I'll take a look at it Cal, great suggestion.
