As you guys know, I've been researching TS's and I'm coming down to the wire and getting trigger happy. I originally was looking at the Ridgid contractor saw but decided I really wanted a hybird or a cabinet. I've was looking at SawStops, but they are a bit rich for my budget. The Grizzly 1023SL series gets great reviews from everyone, and is in that sweet spot when it comes to my budget. Now for the questions.
Does anyone know what the extension table on the G1023SLX is made of? It only mentioned "heavy duty" in the catalog and online. I'm just curious as to whether or not that big ol' extension table is cast iron or something else.
I'm guessing that the router table add-on that comes with the G1023SLW can be used on the G1023SLX if purchased at a later date? I don't know if it requires the shorter rails or not.
Last, there's the G1023SL without any goodie but of course is the most affordable.
What would you guys do, go with the G1023SLX with longer rails and large extension table first and then the router table at a later date? Or go with the G1023SLW and then get the longer rails and extension table later? Thanks again guys, I'm getting closer
