Topic tags/keywords: table saw cabinet saw Hey everyone! I’m thinking of upgrading from my small jobsite table saw to a full cabinets saw. Two saws that have come up are the grizzly 1023rlw and 1023rlwx. Anyone have input on these machines? The 1023rlwx has a 5 hp motor vs the 3 hp on the 1023rlw and only cost 20 bucks more?? Am I missing something? Thanks -- Matt R |

3hp is mega-plenty for a weekend warrior like me, but if you’ve got a 220v circuit capable of delivering the amperage required for 5hp, another 2 ponies shouldn’t hurt anything….might even help the motor last longer b/c it doesn’t work very hard. -- Happiness is like wetting your pants...everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.... |

I will have a designated 240v circuit for the saw. Do you know if there is any differences between the two other than the hp? -- Matt R |

The side by side comparison on Grizzly’s site shows them identical except for motor. Even the weight is listed the same on the specifications sheets although I think that’s a misprint because the box weight is a few pounds off which is likely the larger motor. It sure looks to me like it’s the same saw with a larger motor. The only real difference is one requires a 15 amp circuit and the other a 30 amp circuit with larger wire in the walls. You could always call Grizzly and ask them to be sure. Do you really only want 26” right of blade cutting capacity? |

I would prefer more then 26”, may end up building an extension around table saw. Do you have other suggestions for saws similar in budget? -- Matt R |
