Anyone here own any of these saws or have any gripes/good things to say about them? I have an old 36” crescent which is a well built machine but has a multitude of issues that aren’t worth it to me to fix. Looking at these smaller 24”ish saws to replace it.
Primary uses resawing up to 8” occasionally (2 days/mo), mostly radius work for windows and doors and curved moulding. Radius work needs to be pretty precise (yes id love a CNC but space and money are holding me back on that).
Grizzly G0569 2,995
Laguna LT24 (Italian made version) 4,999
Powermatic PM2415B-3 6,299
SCM S 640P 7,395
Felder FB 610 awaiting quote but guessing itÂ’ll be in the 7k range
IÂ’m one to buy a machine IÂ’m going to have for the rest of my career, so looking at quality. IÂ’m in my mid-20s so i have another 30-40 years in the business. That said, if the griz or Laguna is a quality saw and is built to last, saving 2-4K also sounds good.
Thanks for any input!
