I asked privately what one of our more esteemed "Wreckers" basically the same as written below, and await his thoughts. In this forum I have always gotten a good cross-section of opinions and it is that input I ask once more.
I looked at (as previously stated) Grizzley Laguna and Minimax (couldn't find a distributor for Agazzani). I'm dubious about Grizz, their 24" doesn't offer as much table, resaw capacity, or weight as the other twos 20"'ers. (But about 1700 less dollars inch for inch on their 24").
I have looked at the video offerings from both Laguna and Minimax.
Have you noticed that if you ask a hammer saleman what you need, the answer is always a hammer? The salespeople at all but Grizzley (haven't called them, yet) seem as interested in bashing the competition as selling a product! :>(
The Minimax
The Laguna
Both include shipping, blades and mobility kits, Minimax offers the resaw blade at cost ($100).
Finally Grizzley again: specs at
The next wood show in Florida is a while away and much farther from home this time... and Grizz hasn't come to our show before so a "hands on" for their product may be impossible.
What to do, what to do...
