Grizzly sells some of its tools via eBay, including the 1023. You can get 25% cash back from Microsoft on this type of "Buy It Now" auction (but you have to wait 60 days to get your money). That would get you a brand new 3HP G1023SL delivered for $812.75. Hard to beat that.

A couple of years ago I purchased a General International (50-185) contractor saw and so far have been very happy with it. It got some pretty good reviews at the time... | |

If you have survived that long and done that many jobs with a $200 sears saw with a plastic base...then you'll probably fall in love with just about anything that would be suggested here. You didn't mention a price range, but the above suggests that you are "thrifty"  Any of the high-end contractors saws will probably make you very happy. They will all be far more powerful and considerably more accurate than what you have. With a good blade, I've never had trouble ripping >2" hardwoods with my 1.5hp contractor saw (Delta with Unifence). Spend more on a hybrid or cabinet saw, and it'll just get that much better :>

"It's time for a new table saw! what should i do?" Get the biggest and best one you can. It's your American Right and documented in the constitution... the right to bare arms... You need to push your sleeves up when working around a tablesaw don't you?

I have a Jet Xacta saw and absolutely love it. it has a riving Knife and after using the RK I wouldn't want to do with out it. You can watch Craigslist and be patient for a good saw to come along.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this in previous posts, but WOOD magazine's most recent issue compares about 8 table saws. it may be worth checking out, i believe their top pick was shopfox. i'm not sure what the criteria was.
good luck finding one | |
