I'm in the market for a tablesaw. I currently own a Sears 10 inch radial arm saw and I hate it. I've looked mostly at the Rockwell line and INCA. What type of saws do people own and what would you recommend? Davef Francis ATTIS, Summit, N.J. 201-522-6106 ihnp4!sfwoo!davef

"Fine Woodworking" apparently has done evaluations of table saws. I borrowed some issues of the magazine and therein read letters from readers about such things as Korean table saws marketed by Grizzly (Bellingham, WA). As I recall, one reader purchased such a saw for commercial use. He much preferred it to the Sears saw which 'has been receiving so much attention' (apparently a reference to previous issues' letters/articles). He said it was not built as 'solidly' as the Rockwell (aka Delta) contractor's saw, but then it costs half as much! (rumor has it, and I emphasize RUMOR, that such a Korean machine marketed by Grizzly is ~$350.00). I am in the same situation, daily searching the classifieds for a used Rockwell contractor's saw in mint condition for $500, and wondering what alternatives I have in the brand-spanking new market. I am pursuing the line of information in "Fine Woodworking", you might want to do the same. Would you please post a response to this base note documenting your knowledge and opinions of the Rockwell and Inca products you mention? I would appreciate that :-) Steve Peterson Lake Stevens Instrument Division Hewlett-Packard Company
