Fox W1837 Review
This Shop Fox W1837 compact table seen is easy to move around.
This table saw’s motor is 2 HP, which is less than the majority of table saws on the market. The motor is not equipped with wheels so it cannot be moved around like other table saws. This table saw’s blade is 25 cm smaller than the majority of other models on the market. This blade guard is not a riving knife, but it does have a blade guard.
This table saw’s fence system is made of aluminum. It will keep accurate cuts for many years without any problems. This table saw comes with a miter gauge measuring 20 cm.
If you are doing more intricate work, this might be something that you want to replace. It was preassembled and bolted to the saw. This was a nice convenience because I didn’t have to go through each piece and put them together.
Depending on the type of cut you want, there are two adjustments that can be made. The tilt can be adjusted by loosening bolts underneath the table. Everything else can remain locked.
Another adjustment is the forward and backward movement. This is accomplished by placing knobs in your hands.
Pros
- This product is available at a very low price
- This 20 cm blade is ideal for cutting larger pieces.
- This table saw has the same fence as the larger SawStop saws.
- It also comes with a stand
- You don’t need any special wiring to install this in your garage.
Cons
- Adjusting the height of the blade is difficult.
- Before the machine can be used for woodworking, it will need to be adjusted several times.
Grizzly G0771Z Review
If you are looking for a high-quality under-table saw, the Grizzly G0771Z is a great choice. Many workers want the unit to have key features such as a push stick, miter gauge, and blade guard.
This saw has dual outlets that allow for both 120v or 240v tools to plug in simultaneously. The cabinet has an outlet that allows it to only accept power cords of 10 cm (and not 8 or 5 cm).
This model’s wheels are larger than the previous models, measuring 20 cm x 5cm. It can easily roll across any surface including concrete patios and carpenters floors.
This product is compatible with all custom-made cabinets, rolling cabinet, and carts thanks to its 55 cm rail length.
Although it is a little bulky, some users may find it difficult to move alone. However, its weight is nearly evenly distributed over the rails so that it can still roll on most surfaces. The motor is a powerful 3 HP unit that provides high power output and energy efficiency.

Rip Fence Compatibility
The Grizzly G0771Z table seen is compatible to imported split-fence system made by Unifence, Inc., whereas the W1837 isn’t.
This could mean that certain fences included in the Grizzly G0771Z might not be compatible with the W1837’s blade guards.
Split-fence systems that can be used on the Grizzly G0771Z can also be used to hold a particular type of stock, based on its thickness and width.
