I'm am shopping from the same catalog! What made you choose The Grizzly
1023
over the Grizzly G0690? Price benefit/value? Riving knife not important?

Congratulations on your new saw! I hope you'll share your experience with
delivery/setup.

It was a tough choice especially since price (for once) wasn't the defining
issue but off their web site the 1023SL is currently 25% off ($795 + $94
shipping) so I guess perceived value trumped a slight riving knife
preference, interestingly the G0690 ($1125 + $144 shipping) is about 75lbs
heavier so I hope the slight ease of getting the lighter saw into my
basement shop isn't sacrificed against a possibly more substantial saw. I
did like the overall impression of the 1023SL from reviews and its proven
track record..... I've rarely seen anyone complain about the 1023......
Turkey Day (I do a large dinner) and a new saw in the same week should make
a interesting priority choice G. Indeed I'll pass along my shipping/setup
impressions......Rod
