DEAL OR NO DEAL??

I was considering the Grizzly G0869 - 10" 2 HP Benchtop Table Saw and buying an after market stand for it or the Delta 10 inch contractor saw both are in the $600 to $700 range.

Then I saw this, is this a deal or is it just a good saw at a decent price? It's a 2 hour drive to the location and a 2 hour drive back home.

JET JWTS-10JF -- 10" Table Saw, 1.5 HP, 115V $650 WITHOUT the rolling stand.

Don't have any personal experience with it but lack of a riving knife and motor hanging out the back makes the Delta a no brainer compared to that for me

I have no experience with Jet tablesaws, but I absolutely love my Delta saw. Many people in this discord have one, I believe Dru was the one who started promoting them because theyre just a good saw at a price most people can handle. Plus, it has a riving knife, as Zane said.

With that price, the drive time, and lack of a riving knife I would just go delta.

I paid $359 for mine when Lowes was offloading them last winter. I would also pay the current price for it in a heartbeat

Well you may not get as good of a deal as Zane did but I think we are all in agreement that for a tablesaw in the $700 range, that Delta saw you were looking at it is your best bet.

Yepp, Delta for sure. Wasn't trying to brag though. Point was I would happily pay full price for it

Oh no that's not what I was getting at. But hey for what you paid I wouldn't blame you for bragging lol

That's the only deal that my wife and I have actually agreed was too good to pass up

I'm curious what the hesitancy on the outboard motor is from... just a space consideration or is there a performance aspect?
