Just a side note. I saw the new Rigid granite top saw the other day for the
first time. A store employee was polishing the top. It wa so shiny and
smooth! *I am not sure how that translate into tablesaw function, but it was
interesting.

I looked at a granite top saw a couple of weeks ago. Not sure how I
feel about it. The way I use my shop, I have a feeling there would be
chips out of it within a week, and I don't like the idea of
tippy-toeing around my tools.

Does anybody here have experience with the granite-top saurs?

Nope but an acquaintance has experience with granite cabinet tops. I
think Dave's concern is valid because theirs didn't respond well to a
dropped cast iron skillet.

Let's see..... skillet --- hammer !!!!
