Well after long delays and indecision a table saw has arrived in the garage. I'd been drooling over grizzlys for awhile but the price was a bit much for me. I almost gave in and bought a Ridgid but my wife said it was ok to go with a grizzly if I'd wait a little while to save up. Then lo and behold a few weeks after Christmas her parents pull up at our house and say they need help unloading some things. I walked outside to see a grizzly crate in the back of his truck that was my new table saw. Apparently it was supposed to be given on Christmas but flooding here in central Ark trapped it on high ground on his farm.
Once the electrical was run for the beast I spent most of the last two days scrubbing cosmolene off and assembling the saw as I had time between work, church and other commitments. I took off work today to finish up and here she is, a brand new G1023SLWX. My wonderful wife then produced a mobile base and Incra 1000HD to go with the saw she'd been hiding. Needless to say I was blown away and near speechless at the late Christmas surprise!

I've already run some cherry and oak I had through and it slices it up like a dream. Now I have to clean my garage/shop and run some dust collection. Then the projects can begin. As you can see in the background of the pics, it is a mess in there right now. But a good mess, filled with boxes from tools, rags from cleaning cosmolene and sawdust from test cuts.
