Jim,
Definitely DAGS (do a Google search)as this topic has been thrashed
quite deeply recently. Late last year I was looking for a Uni also,
Amazon offered the best price. But they sold out of the limited edition
models just before I was going to order one. The X5 is the exact same
machine, most likely built in Chaiwan now. Since Amazon only offered the
X5 at a higher price, I continued looking around. At the local WWing
show in Oct, I found a local Delta dist who still had a few LE's at a
great price. I got an LE left tilt, 50" biesemeyer with a Delta mobile
base for a notch over $1500 after tax. They threw in delivery and a
sweet little 2HP Porter Cable compressor for free. I made a platform
that mounts on top of the mobile base and put the compressor and
accessories there. I'm very satisfied with everything. Last but not
least, the saw is made in the US.

Hope this helps,
Mark

differences between the new X5 saws and the Industrial (original version
