Tool Test: Hybrid Table Saws (http://www.toolsofthetrade.net/articles/showarticle.asp?articleID=2443&position=1&type=article&partID=1) Includes the new Steel city Hybrid. Just thought I would pass it on.

Thanks Scott. I had already seen it but am always glad for the article or review referrals from my fellow Creekers.

[Bryan Somers]

Thanks for the article. With more of these saws coming on the market it very well may be what I go with when I can scape up the funs for a new saw

It's a pretty narrow review.

Apparently the guy is in a hurry to shove stock through for making his snowboards, and overstresses that aspect of performance.

Interesting that the SC isn't as smooth as the essentially identical Craftsman, though.

Interesting article, a little narrow in scope though. The author has a very specific use for a tablesaw, so I guess that was what defined his test criteria. If I was really looking for rip speed and power, I would have never even looked at any of those saws. Wrong tool(s) for a production line enviorment.

I can only speak about the General 50-220. I own one and like it quite a bit.

They guy went to alot of time and effort to provide some good info. I found the review interesting. Some items were more relevent to my needs than others.

I'm not a production grade facility. My needs are fundementally different than that of a facility that has a financial stake in speed and accuracy. I just need accuracy.

I can cut corners on speed, but accuracy is not negotiable.
