Thanks folks for the opinions. I think I'll just stick with the Grizzly
unless General has a major sale between now
and the end of the year!

Hiya,
I've resolved to find the funds to beat the Jan. 1 Grizzly price hike and
decided to go ahead and purchase their 1023SL cabinet saw.
However, today I went to Woodworkers Supply's website to check a couple of
things and they've got this:

http://woodworker.com/cgi-bin/FULLPR...14-761#114-761

For around the same price. Features are similar except the tilt and it
weighs around 50 lbs. heavier. Not too concerned about the
fence/length etc... as I've got a Vega 50" fence to put on whichever saw I
get. I don't hear much about WoodTek and am just wondering if anyone has
any experience with them? Is this worthwhile or should I just say to
heck
with it and get the Grizzly? WWS is local to me here in ABQ which might
be
helpful if there are issues with the Woodtek.

When I was shopping for a TS I too had decided on the G1023SL but when
I was visiting my local Woodworker's Supply store I decided to 'crawl
under' the WoodTek. It didn't take me long to decide on the Grizzly.

I forget the specific problems but the difference in feel between the
Woodtek and the Grizzly Contractor's saw I was replacing was enough to
convince me there was no contest.

I've had the G1023SL for about a year and a half and I love it every
time I use it. I would definitely pick the Grizzly over the WoodTek.
