Anybody tried one of these? I've looked at both models in our local store. Don't need a 3-hp., so both the 1-1/12hp and 1-3/4hp models are attractive alternatives. Nice features on both. Heavy duty construction. Each has aluminum cross-cut bar on the miter guage with a built in fast release hold down screw. Both have 4" dust port and a quick release splitter/blade guard..
I like the higher saw table on the 22124 and the folding metal table at the back plus the nice Biesemeyer fence. All for $950.
The 22114 is $650 for 1/2hp less and has what looks to be a heavy-duty new design Craftsman fence. It has two t-slots machined into the top plus one on each side. But the on the floor model I looked at the micro-touch adjustment would not work unless tremendous pressure was applied. It consistently slipped on the bevel machined on the underside of the front guide rail. Could be sloppy set-up for the floor display, but it is a question.
Looking for anyone out there that has used either tool and can offer some feedback.
