Has anyone else seen this? One of the local HD's just put it out for display a few weeks ago. I wish I could remember the model# now, and I don't see it on the HD website. It's a contractor's saw for $529 and has a cast iron top, stamped wings, 1 1/2HP. It seems to be a pretty solid machine for the price.
Anyway, just got a bunch of Home Depot gift cards between Christmas and my recent engagement, enough to put a serious dent in the price of a saw. Miraculously, my fiance's going to let me spend it on tools, so I can't let this opportunity slip away! She'll probably find organization stuff next time she goes in, can't let that happen.
I had intended to get the Rigid at first, and I've read good things about it, but my only concern is availability of parts and accessories. Any advice on this one, are the concerns with the Rigid valid? I know there are some better saws for just a little bit more, but with the gift card situation, it would end up costing me a whole lot more to get the Grizzly or Jet somewhere else.
By the way, I think this group is great, I've been lurking for a while now. A lot of intelligent, reasonable people on here and good discussions. I really thought everybody needed just one more table saw thread, though:-)
