Howdy, folks. After lurking for hours upon hours in this group, I have finally decided to buy a Grizzly G0444Z. I'm brand new to the hobby, and have never used a table saw in my life; but I would like to eventually get into making nice cabinets, bookshelves, end tables, etc., after making a birdhouse or two.
I know I'm just starting, but I do not want the frustration of dealing with a lousy machine when I advance to making furniture for my home. I want the most bang for my buck (obviously), but I don't want to have to open a second mortgage on the house, if you know what I mean, and I think this might be the machine I need. But I figured I might as well submit my decission to the group for a final evaluation from the pros, just in case.
And if anyone has a good suggestion for an unabridged woodworkers reference text, feel free to throw that in too.
Thanks in advance,
-Mike
