I have a buddy who is looking to buy a table saw in the next couple weeks. Hopefully before the January 1 price increase.
He is contemplating between the G1023SLW and G1023SLX. The SLW has the router extension wing, the SLX has the 7' rails.
My advice was to go with the bigger rails and buy an aftermarket extension/router wing to add to the left side of the saw later. If he didn't use an aftermarket fence for the router he could slide his rails to the left and use the fence for his router.
One of his first projects will be cabinets so he will be needing the extra space on the TS and a router table.
He would really like to keep his router attached to the TS and keep as much capacity as possible.
Have any of you guys went with this option?
Thanks,
Josh
