I had finally deceided on the new Griz contractors saw but have been able to
save enough for a better saw in the under or just at $1000 range.
Anyone's thoughts on the Grizzly or the Craftsman? All of them are close to
the same price, with the Griz 1023S at $795 and the other 2 models within a
couple hundred more for the 1023Z.
Grizzly has 3 hp motor,. Craftsman 1 3/4 hp. Griz has either the Shopfox
Classic and optional rails for 49" cuts to right of blade. Craftsman has the
Beisemier fence.
Can anyone give a comparison between the Beisemier fence and the Shopfox
Classic or the Shopfox fence?
Craftsman has a small outfield table included and Griz does not.
Does the fence rail at the back end of the table make it difficult to build
an outfeed table on the Grizzly?
I have been reading all the reviews for the last couple years posted here,
and most like the Grizzly, but there has been little information about the
fences Grizzly uses.
Thanks for any information or experiance with either of these saws.
