I Want this Saw - (This Grizzly has all if not more features) than the Laguna, I'm converted

HMMM Laguna ?

Go for it, I do like the fence set up. Buy it and do a review on your whole process…. You seen it up close and personal and you like it. Have you looked at the Delta?

That’s pretty nice, but for that price I would opt for a sawstop PCS. If I were to go “all out” on a table saw, it would be the Hammer K3 Winner

but your 113.###### table saw looks so good. think the laguna would really provide any material increase in functionality?

It’s a nice saw but look very closely. They’re pretty darn similar from what I see in the manuals from both websites. Unless something has changed recently, it’s my understanding that the saws come from the same plant and are made from the same parts. Laguna has a dealer network for support, and Grizzly is a direct importer that offers lower pricing. The Griz is only available in 3hp with this model though….$1545 shipped vs $2195

damn! all i can say is….damn! what do suppose the function of part 201 in the 691 is as it appears to be missing from the laguna.

It’s a good machine .

I’m wondering if Laguna has an update that’s not captured in their manual, because neither of those look like dovetail with vertical rise to me….they both have swing arms, part 201 is part of the riving knife mount. The G1023RL series has vertical rise.

All I know is that my G0690 makes me smile every time I watch it start up. I have to pay close attention here because it is so quiet and smooth that it is easy to miss… ;-)

Oh, and for the ~$600 difference, I got an iron router table extension and a 3 1/4hp router too! With change back!

For the same money you can get a 12” blade ,side and rear extensions and 5hp plus good customer service

Thanks guys. Now my Dewalt table top saw looks so… inferior.

Bsmith, if it makes you feel better my first saw was a Ryobi bench top which I used on the kitchen island…..Wife was not that thrilled…...

The old INCA 2100 and 2200 cabinet saws have a dovetailed
trunnion. I had two 2200s. The design kept a very consistent
blade centerline at all depths. Also, it simplifies adding a
riving knife to the design.

That said, there are some other features I’d rather have
than a dovetailed trunnion if buying a new saw… not that
I’d say “no” to the dovetail. It worked well on the INCA,
though it did require regular cleaning and waxing.

yeah, my first thought was that looks exactly like the grizzly. same fence design, same cabinet design, shape, motor cover screw and all!
