I like my Contractors Saw, but to clarify the "II" is a lighter model than
the Contractor Saw. I decided it was worth the small amount extra to go
with the better model. I also agree, bet the better fence, Unifence or
Biesmeyer (I got the Bies.). The have a $50 rebate on those with optional
fence for a while more.

I'm the originator of this thread... I've pretty much decided to go with
the Grizzly 1023... Whether I go with the 1023 or the 1023Z is still in
question, since I'm not sure of that fence... Maybe I'll save my pennies
now and buy a Unifence or Beisemeyer (sp?) later.  I just can't go wrong
for the price, and after talking to some of the owners and the customer
service people on several occasions, I'm convinced that these people are
top notch.

Your replies are appreciated!  Without the response I've received on
this thread I couldn't have made my decision as easily.

I've researched this quite a bit & decided on the Jet JWTS-10.  It
costs around $530 and seems nicer than the Delta Contractor Saw.  I
looked at it at Woodworkers Warehouse.  THere is a nice review of saws
