I have the opportunity to pick up this table saw pretty cheap (~$600) new.

I can't seem to find any info on this saw.
I does have a Biesemeyer commercial fence.
Any comments.
Biesemeyer makes two grades of fence (both good) and from what I can see,
this is not their "commercial" version. What makes a fence "commercial"
anyway? Sort of subjective.
It does have a closed base, but I'd hesitate to all it a cabinet saw. It is
belt drive, but the traditional cabinet saw has three belts and a 3 hp
motor. This has unknown number of belts and a 1 3/4 hp motor.
The rear extension may be nice to have if you don't have to add another
outfeed table. .
The right side table board looks cheesy, but it does have some cast iron in
the right. I'd put in a larger board and a couple of legs.
It may be a very good saw for the money, but it is not to be compared to a
Unisaw in spite of the cosmetics. Just be aware of what you are buying.
