Does Anyone Hate Their Grizzly 1023 TS?

I'm looking at buying a tablesaw, and I think I've settled on the
Grizzly 1023SLX:

http://www.grizzly.com/products/item...umber=G1023SLX

I've gotten a lot of positive reports about the 1023; does anyone who
owns one have anything negative to say about it? (Negative reports
aren't necessarily a dealbreaker, of course, but it's nice to be
forewarned about what could possibly go wrong and how to resolve those
problems.)

Thanks!
Darin

I didn't like the power cord so I changed it. The switch could be bigger
too, but it is not a problem.
So many things COULD go wrong that it is impossible to list.
However, so far nothing has gone wrong. Why get the X? It doesn't seem to
offer anything extra in my view.

I thought the "X" added the longer rails and side table?

Yeah -- 7' rails + extension table + legs for $1125 (which is $230 more
than the cost of the SL with the 30" fence, which seems reasonable).

I suppose I could always get the 30" fence version, buy a longer fence,
(try to) sell the short fence on Ebay, and build my own extension table
and legs, but it hardly seems worth it for $230.

Darin,
That is what I thought as well. Not a real steal but certainly seems
reasonable.

I had the G9957 a few years ago...bump it with the broom and the
magnetic switch would snap on. Not only dangerous, but at those amps,
a substantial gulp of juice.
