Ok, so I have decided to upgrade my Craftsman professional hybrid 1.75hp saw to a cabinet saw and although i wanted to buy a brand new Grizzly Q1023RLX for $1800 I have found a Unisaw #34-802 for 800 with 3hp single phase.
Here is where I am at:
1. the griz I would buy the set-up with the router extension just to get both cast iron wing and then add my extension to get to the 52” rip capacity
2. I really wanted new – I always have bought used to save money and get a better tool
3. there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the unisaw.
My gut tells me the unisaw is a better piece of machinery but new for once sure sounds nice
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Steve
