Bridgewood - Cabinet Saw BW-12CS
The Bridgewood is a large saw with a sizeable table top and accommodates 10-in. and 12-in. diameter blades.
Jun 01, 1999
The Bridgewood offers a lot for its moderate price tag. The saw has a large table and interchangable arbor spindles for 10-in. and 12-in. blades. The manual incorrectly described spindle changeovers, which could result in damage to the parts. The company gave us proper instructions over the phone.
For a full review on this saw, read the June 1999 article from Fine Woodworking magazine, available on the Fine Woodworking Network.

Grizzly G0495X Industrial Helical Cutterhead 8-in. Jointer
Regardless of the board’s grain, this jointer produced excellent results. Its fence was totally flat, worked smoothly, and locked well, staying in place even after jointing multiple edges. Getting the fence to 90° was very easy, but the 90° stop was a little tricky to set and the fence did not go back to square when using it. For those who would use it, there is also a digital depth-of-cut scale.
