Oh man. It's $1849. Plus he said he's split the freight with me which
would be another $150. So $2000.

485lbs
dual drum
variable speed feed
3hp
25.5" wide
5 year warrantee

My only compaint is it has a 1/4" minimum stock thickenss. For that I
can make a sled.

Assuming the build quality is as good as I hear, these people are
really going to hurt grizzly.

I think that is a 50# difference, 535#'s vs. 485#'s. The difference between
shipping weight and net weight.

They do look the same. I wonder what makes for the 70# difference? JG

Big brothers, little brothers? One factory with a different sign
on every wall?

Picked up the General 24 " last week. Nice machine, smooth as silk.

Tightened up two bolts to hold the power switch, put on the hight
adjusting handle and it was ready to go.

Tad under $1900 CDN.

I've got a General table saw and 14 " band saw. Very happy with
their products.
