I Have to agree with Dave on the Sawstop. I saw it at the woodworking show a few yeas back and its Impresssive.

I get the Jet saw and be done with it. The mounting of the trunions are fine. It will cut miles of lumber for you before its wears itself out. The trick to a fine saw is adjustability and that it stays true. A good fence is your friend. Everyone has an opinion at those crazy web sites. There are some real nut cases out there. Just like here, you can't put a 3.6 motor in an S or the lug nuts are not the correct ones.

When you buy the saw, just make sure the shaft is straight. Take the blade off turn the saw on and stick the tip of a pen on the center of the shaft and feel for any run out. It should be a 5/8" shaft. 10" saw. right?
