Hello, i would like to get some opinions if i am making the right decision, i currently have a older rockwell 12 inch contractors saw. I have been wanting to upgrade and was thinking one of the grizzly hybrid saws, a grizzly 1023s came up on Craigslist list. I am going to take a look at it. Is the 1023 the better option? it is cheaper than the grizzlies, but i would have to share the 220 dryer outlet.
Thanks for any input you can share.
