If the arbor or blade gives more than about 5 thou runout, you have a problem. Both performance and safety. A half decent blade, like even a low end Diablo will be under 2 on a 10 inch. Arbor should be as good. Cheap saws with stamped flange washers are notorious. Get good washers. If your arbor is off, well, get a better saw. More common is a bit of dust on the flange. You can test every blade on your arbor to off-set the runout. Mark the blade and arbor, reposition until minimum. I found I could get about one to two thou. better.
Additional expense I forgot. Shipment of the larger tools is to curb or dock. Sometimes even lift-gate delivery is more expensive. Just an 18 wheeler. So I will have to rent a fork lift to get the new tools into my shop. ( gravel drive) . Adding a Clear-View cyclone to my Fein vac so I don't spend a fortune on HEPA bags cleaning up. Unless you have experienced the difference between a Fein or Festool vac and a shop vac, you don't know what you are missing. Worth every penny and boy do they coat a lot of them.
New expense. Turns out the DeWalt 735 planer is rated at 15A/110. No sweat. Except that is when not cutting. It can pull 32A doing 1/16 of a 10 wide oak plank. That is enough to trip a 20A breaker occasionally. So, running a 30A 110 line. I consider a 15A spec for idle to be fraudulent. Glad I found out. I still want one, but will put in a 30A line. They should have put in a 110/220 configurable motor.
