Bob, I have the DC unit that I purchased from HF, it has the 4" hose, so there shouldn't be any probs there. (I hope), also have a 25gal. shop-vac, plus a smaller shop-vac. Hopefully, dust won't be any issue(s).

Harry, I know all about that drooling problem. I was torn between several different TS units. (Now, you know why I carry extra bibs with me) LOL I will also be looking into extra... "toys" for the saw, safety wise. The money tree has to grow a bit now before any of that happens.

Ken D, as for blades, I've been sold on the Freud blades for a long time now. I think they are best out on the market right now, atleast that's my opinon.

George II, I'll do my best on letting you know how it is. The temps here are staying in the 20's & 30's, the shop isn't insulated, lots of snow on the ground. But, that hasn't stopped me in the past from having some "fun" in the shop.


Did someone say pics?! Hmmmm, now Bob, you know how I am with camera's. LOL Will do my best my friend.

Thanks again everyone. Cheers

nice saw, i have been looking for a little while as i have out grown my craftsman contractor saw my budget will only let go as much as the G0444 but from what i have seen looks to be the best in that price range i know this is still a contractor saw but
better than a aluminum table unit

vapochilled

In that price range I'd be looking at both the Delta and the Ridgid as well, both get very very good reviews.

Hi vapochilled

If you look real hard at the Grizzly saw it's the same as the Delta but it's green with a better fence system .. and with just a bit more mass..

Sorry for not responding quicker. It looks like my plans for the new saw are on a long hold. I ask myself what was I wanting to achieve buying a new saw over my BT-3000. The Ryobi cuts everything I need, has so far,. I went to the BT-3xxx forum and viewed many modifications that can be made to the Ryobi. So now I am working on the table, mounting my router table top to the saw. adding weight to the base, through a mdf cabniet. adding "T" tracks. I enjoy tinkering and building things. The table when finished will be rather large. I am taking photos of my work in progress and will post them as soon as I find a shop that will develope 120 film.. . any way if doesn't work out that Grizzley should be on a end of run clearance sale.

Is it? I mean really, is it? Is the machining of the same standard? etc etc blah blah...
I've never heard a bad word about the Delta, and only uninformed grumbles on the ridgid, both are cheaper I think.
I have a "Bessy" fence" ready and waiting for the tax return(sshhhhh, don't tell the wife)
I'm now looking at saws very closely, had an actual play with a "saw stop saw today in woodcraft. Oh man if only $3k was on the cards lol, very nice saw, and the replacement "finger saver" is $60 a very small price in my view.
Anyway, back on/off topic.
If the Grizzly is of equal quality, I'll take a serious look, I allways thought of grizzly as a slightly upmarket harbour freight, no doubt I'm about to get hate mail, but thats how their advertising comes across.

Hamlin

Grizzly does offer a 90day wait period before having to pay. I'm not sure if they would do finacing, never hurts to ask though.

George, sry to hear about the "change of plans". I think we all have "been there, done that, and still doing that." lol

George, 120 film, I would have thought that you were too young to have even heard of it!
