Shop Fox and Grizzly are close cousins. For example, the Shop Fox machinery
is very similar to Grizzly except for color and the fact they are retailed
outside of the Grizzly direct order system (at a higher retail price).
Grizzly also offers other Shop Fox tools and accessories through their
catalogue and their outlets.

In addition to a 1023S cabinet saw, I own a few smaller SF tools and
accessories. The saw is great and no complaints on other items. The saw
also uses a Shop Fox Classic fence that is a Beismeier look-alike and solid
as a rock. At the price you have seen, it is probably worth a try.

In the Grizzly catelog, they sell a low price block plane (under the "Shop
Fox" brand name) for $14.95.

I have no experience with "Shop Fox" products, but hope others in this
newsgroup can comment on their value.

Thanks
