Hello,
My wife recently allowed me to purchase my retirement gift(a few months early). I sold off my craftsman 113/T2 combo for a nice profit, and made room for my "forever saw".
Grizzly was having a sale, so I opted for the G1023RLW https://www.grizzly.com/products/Grizzly-10-3-HP-240V-Cabinet-Table-Saw-with-Built-in-Router-Table/G1023RLW. For what I do/aspire to do it seems like more than enough. On top of that, it has the router table extension. In my tiny garage, I don't have room for a separate router table.
I searched and found a few rumblings about the fence on the 1023, so I plead my case for an Incra TS-LS 32" setup, and a Triton 3-1/4 HP router to mount below the table.
The setup seemed perfect for my space. The problem is that everything is on backorder.
The Incra isn't a must have at this moment, but now that I've sold my table saw, I'm pretty bummed that the 1023 is so far out. I call grizzly once a week to see if there is any update, but mid July is the best answer I've been given. They do however have plenty of G0690's in stock https://www.grizzly.com/products/Grizzly-10-3HP-220V-Cabinet-Table-Saw-with-Riving-Knife/G0690. Similar in price, but lacking a router extension.
The extension is a luxury. To this point, most of my time with any router has been a trim router. Just simple rounding over edges.
I'm not seeing much other than the G0690 in the price range I already paid.
My question is: Do I just wait for my order to be filled, or do I go with a G0690 or something else in that price range(if one exists)? Normally I love the used market, but in this case I want new.
It looks like I'd have to come up with a different plan on the router extension, and that would definitely put me well over what I've already paid. Not a deal breaker, but it would likely ad more time to the wait.
What do you think the best option is?
Thank you.
Derrick
