it's a good saw. I wouldn't say it's as nice as a Minimax or a Felder, but it's 95% of the saw for about 40% of the price. Grizzly has always done best with bandsaws and big stationary sanders. That being said, I don't think I could live without my table saw, but everyone has their own methods of work in the shop. most of my my work is Greene & Greene or Stickley style furniture, so the table saw gets a lot of use. If I were making guitars or Maloof style work, I'd probably lean more heavily on a band saw.

More Turbo
Rule of thumb for lighting a well lit work shop is 60 lumens per square foot of floor space. My shop is 30 x 50 so 1500 square feet. This would equate to 90,000 lumens. I am using 2 x 4 high bay LED industrial fixtures rated at 12,000 lumens per fixture. The formula says I should have 8 fixtures equally spaced so I bought 10 ......��. I did buy the ones with the dimmable drivers just in case they were too bright for just sitting around drinking beer.

They're metlux highbay SE 2x4 fixtures at 12000 lumens. I only have 2 of the 10 hung temporarily right now as I'm still installing the ceiling. I can get you a pic but it won't do them justice until the whole 10 units are up. Also, they are 5000K color.

those rafters are a point of pride for me as I do just happen to be a bridge engineer with a specialty in trusses.
they're really just 16' long 2x6's buit up into an arched truss. the gusset plates are 1/2" plywood and they are glued and truss screwed together. super east to build, too. you make them upside down on the ground with the top laid flat and the bottom free spanning between the 6x6 ends of the truss. Tehn you throw 100 lbs of bench weight in the middle and build out the vertical and diagonal bits in the middle. when you're done, you flip it back over. I think they cost me like $80/each in wood glue and screws.
they are structural and they frame into the 6x6 posts that support the walls.the trusses both provide rigid framing to the posts to prevent racking, and they support the second floor, which as substantial load on it. each truss node gusset can support a secondary 2000lb load should I wish to hold a heavy piece of machinery in the air or something.

so your shop is less then 16 feet wide? man them are just the coolest rafters.
