    New Shop Fox W1677 3hp Saw Headin My Way!

    I've waited a while to be able to make this gloat. This morning I ordered a new SHOP FOX® W1677 10" 3hp Left Tilt Table Saw from Utterguys. It's much like a Griz 1023SL....both companies are owned by Shiraz Balolia, and both come from the same plant in Taiwan. The Microsoft Live.com discount was at 25% Saturday, plus I had received an Ebay discount good for another 10% off one item. My savings were ~ $350. The saw was listed for a reasonable $1253 with free shipping, the discounts brought it to $903. My trusty 22124 will be going up for sale soon. The SF should arrive Friday.

    I'll post pics of the real McCoy in a couple of weeks when it's all setup, but here's a file pic.

      Atta boy Scott you deserve it. I suppose now we can all look forward to some brand new blade reviews on full kerf blades.

              Music to my ears Sparky, and a comment I "endure" with great pleasure!

              The fence is 26" to the right in it's stock configuration....I'll be looking to move it to the right when I put it together, as I've grown fond of the 40" capacity I currently have.

              Gary, don't you want to put this flag in your avatar or are we gonna be neighbors?

                Congrats on the new toy. You are expected to make mountains of sawdust in the very near future.
