Patrick Conroy asks:

I'm interested in seeing how this hybrid saw tune plays out over the next
six
months or year. There should be some response from both Jet and DeWalt as
to
changes in their saws to justify the cost--very close to that of the new
Craftsman.

As I SuperSaw buyer, I too looked at the specs of the new Craftsman. The 1
3/4 horse lines up w/ the hybrids. But is the main difference in the
trunions? The Craftsman being more "cabinet-ish" and the hybrids more
"contractor-esque"?

I think so, but as I said earlier, I have not examined the Jet and DeWalt saws
very closely, so I do NOT know for sure. I don't think either of the others has
the trunnions mounted on the cabinet, nor do I think they have cast iron
trunnions. But that's an impression, not a fact.
