Hello all! I've been waiting for an 8" for several years now, and Grizzly seems to be running a great discount on several of their machines. I'm considering purchasing the Shop Fox w1860 (on sale for $1995), which I understand is the Shop Fox version of the G0858, but am also tempted by the...

On Grizzly's site it showed as not in stock but more were on the way. After waiting close to 2 months I cancelled that order and purchased a G1023RLWX which was delivered about a week later. I've had this saw for about 9 months now and have been very happy with it.
And 2) Grizzly uses proprietary carbide cutters that cost 3x as much as other similar sized carbide teeth. When I checked today 8/30/2019, 10 cutters from Grizzly were $90ish and 10 cutters from multiple other suppliers (same size but apparently not compatible) were $30ish. Good luck with your joiner. I'm planning to order the 858 today. Rob
