I just bought the 22124 and mobile base. With C-club, sale and delivery $789.99 before tax and am waiting on a $60.00 rebate. I looked at Delta & General (local dealer) and read all I could on Grizzly and Powermatic. I'm graduating from 25yrs with a Shopsmith and cannot believe how much easier a big, stays in place table, is to use. I've been doing woodworking for 25 yrs, but since I'm not a pro, I probably have 1 yr experience repeated 25 times!
3 horse, 3 belts are probably bare minimums for a cabinet shop but too much for me. What sold me was Sear's, try it; see if you like it policy. And so far, I like it. The blade/table alignment was perfect out of the box. The fence cursor screw holes didn't match up, but Bessy says they will send a new replacement. The Sears guys put mine right in the shop for me.I do have 1 question though. Are all cabinet saws quiet? My neighbor has a Sears contractor saw and a friend has a JET saw and I have a Shopsmith. It is impossible to talk over the noise of either. This
22124 is so quiet ripping oak that you can speak normally. Scary actually!
