a min of 10". I only have 120. Current Jet pricing is confusing (besides
pretty expensive).

New 14" JWBS-14sf 13.5" resaw, resaw fence, 1900
16" jwbs-16B 10" resaw 1429
18" jwbs-18qt 12.25" resaw 1785

seems like the 18 should be more than the 16 and why is the 14" so pricy?

For Grizzy I'm looking at a 2hp motor that's 110 capable. They have a
handful of choices also
g0457 10" resaw 995
g0513 12" resaw 895 Why cheaper?
g0513x2 12" resaw 1095
g0513x2b 12" resaw 1295
g0513x2f 12" resaw 1250

I think Jet has almost priced themselves out or the running, unless
there's
a really really good reason to go with them.
Recommendations pro or con are welcomed.
Thx



As krw has pointed out the Laguna is worth every consideration. The
ceramic Laguna guides are a gread advantage.

Not so fast on the low end Laguna, it di not rate so high for a few
reasons in a comparison with the Rikon. The power of the low end Laguna
was pretty poor back in 2005-6.. I was looking through some old mags the
other day for something for Bill, and saw the article..

I would look for current reviews, they may have upped the motor on it.
