Jeffrey, that’s good to know that there is a G0623X in the showroom. I wish I lived closer to a showroom, but I’m in southern Colorado, and Springfield, MO is over 900 miles away. For those of you who are knowledgeable about european format sliding tablesaws, and who might be visiting a Grizzly showroom, I would really like to hear your impressions of the G0623X. Specifically, I would be interested in the following:
Quality of sliding table and crosscut table.
Crosscut fence and how it mounts. E.g., once set up perpendicular to the blade, is there a positive locking mechanism for removing and reinstalling the crosscut fence?
Rip fence and rails.
Overall design.
Fit and finish.
Anything else that I'm not smart enough to think of.
I’m interested in this model, but I certainly haven’t decided to get this one, or any other EFSTS for that matter. I know that some might argue for a longer stroke, or one with more features, or a true European model. For me, however, that is not in the cards at this point. If the G0623X appears to be well designed and well built, then notwithstanding its capacity limitations (which would not be very limiting for me, given my needs), the price might be right.
