Taunton's 2005 Tool Guide: Midsize Tablesaws
Anybody thumb through the 2005 tool guide by Fine Woodworking? I was just
wondering if these guys ever get paid off to give good reviews. In particular, the editors have the General 50-185M1 contractor's saw listed as the best over all, best value, and as the reader's choice. And they have the DeWalt DW746 listed as second best. But I was wondering where the Grizzly G0444Z stood in comparison to these models. They tested a Grizzly, but they said they didn't post a review for it because the particular model they tested was discontinued (they didn't say which model it was). So I was hoping some of you guys could fill in the blanks... TIA. |

Instead, they review just a handful of models. I expected better from Taunton Press. |

I was also very disappointed with this, superficial effort from Taunton
Press, had I spent more time previewing in the store I would not have paid the substantial price. "Phisherman" wrote in message ...
