Time to bite the bullet and upgrade. Woodcraft has the model CNS175 for $2,257. AND the same model for $1,999. The only difference I can determine between the two is the fence. The more expensive version has the Pro T Glide fence system and the 36 inch extension table. Are those two items worth the extra $$$?
Did you have any luck in finding a store with saw in stock and avoid the shipping fee?
Thanks!
