And, I'm undecided as to which one to get. I've pretty much boiled it down to the Jet 18" "X" model (#710750) (1.75hp) or the Steel City 16" Industrial. I can get the Jet for $999 plus tax, the Steel City for $1,039 + tax. Before anybody jumps in and suggests I go with the 3hp Jet or a big Grizzly or the like, I'm in a rented townhouse with only 120v power to the garage. Running 240 is not in the cards.
My local vendor has the Jet, and they're a Steel City dealer, but don't have any of the 16" models in stock, so I haven't been able to compare them side by side. Ergo, I'd like some feedback from those who've had a chance to either use one (or both) or at least see both.
The $40 difference is negligible. The only clear advantage that the Jet seems to have is the additional 1/4hp and 2" of resaw capacity. The Steel City SEEMS to have easier blade tracking adjustment, as well as a tension quick release, better dust collection, and a handy dandy paddle switch, and will run at two speeds.
Input is hereby solicited. Oh, and I will need to mobilate the beast, so suggestions on doing so are also requested.
