If you can find a good used saw on CL or other source nearby, that’s a good option to explore. When I was looking at getting a new saw, though, I was looking at getting the riving knife as WELL as getting a better saw than I had. Sometimes that’s hard to find in a used saw. I looked for a few weeks and nothing was available locally so I went looking for new. I looked at the G0715P after returning my R4512 and couldn’t justify in my mind the cost for yet another saw with table-mounted trunions. Not that I have anything against Grizzly. I also looked at the Steel City saws and because of the budget I had to fit into, I got the 35990G. I was trying to get the 35990C model but none were available locally and I needed to get moving on a project. It’s not a cabinet saw, but it’s worlds better than what I had and as it turns out, it’s a darn nice saw. And Steel City has a sale running until June 30th. So the timing was right for me. Oh and another deciding factor was that the local place I purchased from is also factory authorized for warranty repairs. Make sure to look at your service options just in case you need service (assuming you get a new saw with a warranty). |
