I went by Sears today. I like this saw.

The motor is 1 3/4 HP. Will I miss that much HP since I've been using at 2 HP for years? The most stress I put on the saw is ripping 45 inch long green hickory that I've planed to square.

The lesser-priced saw has some kind of flange sticking into the miter slot that will not let me use my many jigs. What a bad idea.

FWIW, Mike, I spent $350 for a Jet contractor saw, with the Rockler outfeed
table, mobile base, a few half decent blades a couple summers ago to get my son
started in woodworking. It was used, but very little. Take a look on
Craigslist or contact your local woodworking club. You could wind up with a
heck of a deal and a much better saw.
