FWW did a review of cabinet saws recently and gave the Griz the Best Value Award. I think it was the only one under a thousand bucks. http://www.amazon.com/Grizzly-G1023S...8&s=hi]grizzly[/link]. It gets really good feedback at Amazon.
One thing about getting a cabinet saw is you won't (probably) feel you need to upgrade again.

Cabinet saws typically have heavier duty trunions, as well as everything else. 3hp motors as opposed to 1 1/2hp. Dust collection built in, though hybrids have that as well....
I was floored by the difference when I went to my current PM2000, but that's a bit of overkill. I would have been fine with a hybrid, but couldn't get one with a riving knife.
I would think one of the deciding factors should be the fence. The jet supersaw fence isn't the greatest. The delta hybrid has the T2 fence, which is a beismeyer knock-off, and pretty good. Dunno about the griz, the Ridgid fence seems pretty good, more BT like than Beismeyer like in design.Leave a comment:

Questions before I purchase new TS..
I have really enjoyed my BT3100, but it is time for something a little beefier and will hold its accuracy better. I am really at a crossroads though. I really like the Grizzly line of saws as well as the Ridgid TS3560.
Space is not a factor. 220V is already installed. I would like to spend less than 1000 but willing to spend above if necessary.
I used a friends JET supersawhttp://tinyurl.com/yddk9s and loved how quiet it was compared to the BT3100.
What would I gain by going to the G1023 cabinet saw or any cabinet saw for that matter, rather than going with a contractor saw such as the G0444Z or the Ridgid TS3650?
The TS3560 may be out if it does not acceppt aftermarket rails and fences.
Are the noise levels different on any of these saws.
Thanks for your help!
