I have done a lot of looking, reading, kicking the tires. Seems the smaller saws, Rikon, Jet, Crafstman, Delta, etc (10") most people seem to hate. The older ones, were ok, as I had a few, but the new ones are lousy. Lowes $399 job is a nice heavy saw but doesnt have roller bearings!. Jet's 10" got terrible reviews, there is a floor model for $219 I saw, while it is a great price, only if it works well. Now the larger Rikon and Jets look really nice, and I have heard much good about them,m but a grand is out of my range. I have read a lot of good stuff about the Grizzly, is comes with a bunch of stuff and the support is there. I guess I will by the polar bear series, and save the shipping (almost). Does anyone know if it comes assembled or do I need the lift gate service. I just figured if it was in pieces I could open the box and lift the stuff down. THanks for all your suggestions and comments. I feel welcome already!
