My apologies for yet another DW735 post, but....
What's knife life like on the DeWalt DW735? I'm considering blowing a little bit of my tax refund on either the DW735 or stretching a little more for the new Grizzly G0551 15" (BTW, anyone have this and can report on it's performance?)
I don't really need the extra 2" and I like the idea of only lugging ~95 lbs. into the basement instead of ~500 and having a semi-portable unit, but I'm concerned about the recurring cost of knives for the DeWalt, since it's a lighter-duty machine than the stationary Grizzly and they're disposable (not re-sharpenable, correct?).
I'll probably be working with rough lumber more than not, including maple, walnut, oak, and cherry. Any thoughts, opinions appreciated. Thanks.
