I was just out in the garage trying to get my very old bottom of the line Taiwanese band saw to do something other than make loud noises and vibrate with little luck. I came back in and was looking around the internet and found that Grizzley had a 16" Shop Fox with a 1 1/2 hp motor on sale for $650 plus $78 shipping and that the supplies are limited. They claim that it normally cost $835.

It soulds like that it is just too good of a deal to pass up but I am wondering what you guys think. I have searched this forum but have not found enough information to make a good decision. It does appear that Shop Fox is not top of the line but a very good brand. I just do general purpose stuff but am wondering if I will be sorry in the future that I did not wait and spend more for a 2 hp model. Of course anything will be better that what I had. Thanks for any feed back! Allen
