Signed a contract tonight for a garage addition which will be a new workshop. I've got ~25yr old Craftsman contractors saw and would really like to upgrade to a cabinet saw. The Craftsman does fine (by my standards) but I'd really like something bigger. With the cost of the addition I want to keep the tool expenditures down as much as possible. So, I'm just looking for something like a decent 3hp saw. I've looked at the Jets in a store, but I can get a Grizzly 690 cheaper. This seems to be a well reviewed saw. Any reason not to look at the 690? Figure on building a router table, but I'd really like a shaper too. For the extra money, would I be better off getting a 50" ext w/router table? Of course I'm watching the statewide CL for a used cabinet saw too, it'd be nice to pick up a used one all set up. Thanks. Greg
