I am looking to get a track saw and have narrowed things down to the two green models, one very expensive, and one not so much. So, I am trying to determine if the Grizzly will work well enough for my needs (small personal shop).
1. There are a few posts that have had some concern that if you run a cut with the bevel gauge set at 90-degrees, and then run a 45-degree bevel cut, that the bottom edge of the anti-splinter strip may be shaved or undercut during this 45-degree cut such that there is no longer a zero clearance condition on further 90-degree cuts.
Has anyone confirmed, with their Grizzly track saw, that after a 45-degree bevel cut, the zero clearance on the anti-splinter strip is maintained on subsequent 90-degree cuts?
2. I have also seen a thread regarding arbor wobble with the Grizzly. This seem like something that would definitely impact cut quality, no matter how good the blade. Has anyone else noticed this wobble?
3. Those of you that have a Grizzly track saw and are using an upscale blade (Freud, Festool, etc.), are you noticing Festool like cut quality? Does the cut with this upscales blade still need additional work such as a touch up with a plane, etc?
4. In a couple of threads, it was noted that some degree of effort was required to lock and unlock the depth stop block to change depth of cut. Is this a common issue"
5. Has anyone had problems with the anti-splinter strip coming un-glued?
6. I would also like to hear from those of you that have had one of these saws (Grizzly, Shop Fox, Sheppach, etc.) for some length of time, how they have held up over this time and if there have been any major durability issues?
Thank you all, in advance, for your time and responses.
