Quick question for those who own.... I have given a choice between the Excalibur or the Exactor dust collection / blade guards..

It will be mounted on a Grizzly GO690, and a HF 2hp dust collector. They are obviously very similar in design.. I am looking for opinions from anyone who owns one or the other, i.e. installation, functionallity etc...

I have the Excalibur on my G1023RL. I am happy with it now that I made a new basket for it. I had dust escape through the gap ath the front on the old basket. The designs are similar on both. I would go for the cheaper one.

I have had the Excalibur on my General table saw for 7 or 8 years and have been very satisfied with it.
