King table saws

[Mike Kruk]

Anybody have any experience with the King Canada 3hp - 10" industrial table saws ? They come with Lesson motors with 2 drive belts and a 52 rip capacity. Seems to be a reasonable price at $1700. Thinking about trying one, to replace my delta contractors saw.
Thanks for any input.

If you're talking about the model KC-26FXT/i50/5052, it's a very similar to the Craftex CX201, Grizzly G0690, Baleigh, Harvey, and former Laguna Platunum.

If it's like the Craftex, I'd take a pass. I'm currently shopping for a new saw & had a good look at them & was quite unimpressed. Issues with quality, fit & finish as well as design.
