Clint:

The CDN$979 General 50-220 has their basic aluminum fence. The 50-220C
has their 30" capacity baby Biesemeyer fence. The 220C would set me
back CDN$1100 (see
http://www.general.ca/images/circula...P.2ANG.CAN.gif).
Doubt that the 220 would run on 20A at 110V. Also doubt I could sneek
it downstairs without the wife noticing...

HoT also has an entry-level Delta cabinet saw - the 36-655 for CDN$900
(see http://www.houseoftools.com/product.htm?pid=201668). It would run
fine on a 20A curcuit, but I don't care for the fence. Marson has a
36-655 w/o a fence, but they're asking CDN$950 for it.

Apparently the 36-717 is Delta's newest "hybrid" saw. According to FCB
Machinery, the 36-717 isn't available in Canada - and according to
Sears Canada, neither is the similarly built Craftsman 22124.
