Shopfox 17 - looks the sturdiest and most heavy duty, but frame welding
looked a little sloppier than the others, making me question the overall
quality. Cast iron wheels are spoked rather than solid like the Bridgewood.

Never seen the Shopfox, but the Grizzly 17" is an awfully nice
machine. Good fit and finish, and the guy I know that has one uses it
to rough out really large turning blanks, and has nothing bad to say
about it.

Any advice or personal experience with these saws (especially the last 2)?

Thanks in advance
