The "new & improved" Super Saw seemed overpriced when they introduced it. I can't recall seeing any posts from anyone who's actually purchased this version of the saw up to now, which supports my opinions that it was priced too high initially.

$895 shipped seems like a nice deal...great fence, 52" rip, sliding table, full enclosure, heavy, etc., but there are a couple of things worth considering before jumping aboard. This is an older hybrid format that uses table mounted trunnions and connecting rods as an arbor carriage. All other hybrids except for the current Delta use either cabinet mounted trunnions with either a one-piece cast arbor carriage or the connecting rods, or table mounted trunnions with the one-piece cast arbor carriage (the Jet Proshop and Workshop saws included). That's not to say that this trunnion design will be a problem, but it has the fewest advantages over the alternatives. It also still uses a unique belt system to raise and lower the blade...the original Super Saws had issues with that design, but they've supposedly worked out the bugs with it.

$895 shipped would have me intrigued if I were in the market for a 120v saw, but I would research potential issues with the trunnion design before buying.

How and where did you find it? It keeps coming up for me as not available.

I did find the Model 708780K on Amazon for $1727.46 which doesn't interest me in the least. For $895 shipped, yes, that might work. Still, I'm not wild about sliding tables and might prefer it without one.

Thanks.
