I'm in the market for a new saw. I've outgrown my old craftsman since I'm framing less and doing more woodworking, interior, and exterior trim.
The saw has to fit in the trailer and needs to be movable by 1-2 persons. I need more ripping capacity, let's say at least 30" and a more powerful motor for cutting hardwoods. Dust collection isn't a factor as it will be used "al fresco" the majority of the time. I'm thinking a contractor style will suit my needs the best. I'm not looking to spend a small fortune 1K is about the max. I don't think there are any "portable" models that will fit the bill but i could be mistaken. A good fence is a must.
One saw that has caught my eye is the Grizzly GO576. Anyone have any expirience with this unit? Is 2hp gonna be enough muscle?
Thanks in advance
