"Fine Woodworking" apparently has done evaluations of table saws.  I borrowed
some issues of the magazine and therein read letters from readers about such
things as Korean table saws marketed by Grizzly (Bellingham, WA).  As I recall,
one reader purchased such a saw for commercial use.  He much preferred it to
the Sears saw which 'has been receiving so much attention' (apparently a
reference to previous issues' letters/articles).  He said it was not built as
'solidly' as the Rockwell (aka Delta) contractor's saw, but then it costs
half as much! (rumor has it, and I emphasize RUMOR, that such a Korean machine
marketed by Grizzly is ~$350.00).

I am in the same situation, daily searching the classifieds for a used Rockwell 
contractor's saw in mint condition for $500, and wondering what alternatives I
have in the brand-spanking new market.  I am pursuing the line of information
in "Fine Woodworking", you might want to do the same.  Would you please post
a response to this base note documenting your knowledge and opinions of the
Rockwell and Inca products you mention?  I would appreciate that :-)
