I just wanted to share my good news. I know Festool does not make a cabinet saw, so I purchased a Powermatic PM2000, 3 hp, 1 ph, 230 volt with a 30" accu fence and the table to the right of the saw.
I am getting rid of (selling) my Grizzly G0715P cabinet saw. The fence was junk in that there was never any repeatable accuracy and the motor was making some bad sounds. I shut it down and felt under the motor and when I pulled my hand out it had a clear oil on it. I had thought something smelled like it was burning. It seems that one of the bearings leaked lubricant out and it got in between the armature and the windings - I am assuming that is why it smelled so bad.
The old saying "You get what you pay for" seems to hold true in my case. I paid $800.00 for he Grizzly thinking I got a really good deal - but didn't. I paid $3,000.00 for the Powermatic and from everything I have read this seems like a really good quality saw. I can't wait for it to get delivered!
