I'm looking for a head-to-head comparison of Grizzly and Delta contractor or hybrid style table saws. I'm looking to spend $500-$800 on a new saw sometime in the next month, and am currently in the information gathering phase. I've got the Grizzly catalog, but the Delta information is a little harder to come by, considering that they don't list prices on their website, and the authorized Delta dealer that carries what I'm looking for is closed whenever I have time to contact them.
My main points of interest for the new saw are that it is 1.5 hp or better (preferably 2 or 3 hp) single-phase (220 or 110 doesn't really matter) takes a standard Dado set, has a good fence, and uses an easily availible zero-clearance insert. I was looking at cabinet saws, but decided that the extra $300-400 could be better applied towards good jointer and dust collector (for those of you who were going to suggest that I go one step up)
Does anyone have a link to a point-by-point comparison between the two brands, or some personal experience with these saws that you'd be willing to share? This is a big investment for me, so I want to make sure I don't get burned.
Thanks!
