Depends on what you want. IMO, the Grizzly 1023SL can't be beat for the
price (of course it was $100 cheaper a month ago) and it matches what I wanted it for. Cheers, cc "tony stramella" wrote in message ... |

A good, "previously owned" Unisaw, PM66, something along those lines. A
little sweat equity and you've got a lifetime tool for a reasonable price. "tony stramella" wrote: Nothing but the subject, really... |

Buy the Griz 1023SL - I did a month ago. It is
a great saw. I don't know how a 10" TS could be worth 2x the money (like a Unisaw or PM). I'm in "woodworker heaven" with the Grizzly. It replaced a 15+ year old import that I thought was decent until I sprung for the Griz. Lou |

I too purchased the Griz 1023SL and could not be happier. I have worked
on an old Craftsman for 20 years prior. RonT |

Hi Bob,
The fence was one of my *BIG* concerns before deciding on the Griz. I saw the Bies on the new Craftsman cabinet saw before deciding. It was fine, but based on what I have read here on the wreck, I decided that the Shop Fox is almost as good if not equal to the Bies. I always saw Norm with his Bies and thought that I had to have one too, but I decided to trust the wreck (I have never been disappointed). When I received the shipment from Grizzly, I could hardly believe the quality of the SF fence. It was a beast, almost all steel/iron, whatever. Once I had the thing bolted to the 400lb saw, there was nothing that would deflect it - and so far (1 month) this has held true. Granted, I'm a hobbyist and might have a different set of parameters than a cabinet/production shop. But for an amateur, at $1K, you will not be disappointed in this saw/fence combo. Of course, you can spend $2K and be quite happy too!

But mine is very well broken in and has had lots of use over the years his was brand new... so I have no clue how it will hold up...my opinion of it from just looking at it is that he will have NO problems.. I have no clue what fence his has...but I am spoiled by my Bies still I THINK I COULD live with the Grizly fence ... not sue I would want to after all these years but it seems solid enough... Just my opinion... Bob Griffiths.. |
