I've been using a DeWalt 7491rs job site saw for about eight months now, and while it's definitely an upgrade from my grandpa's old Craftsman from the 80s, I'm getting pretty frustrated with frequent tripped breakers and smoke when trying to resaw black walnut. Plus, I had a nasty accident a couple of months ago where I sliced my thumb open, and I'm still dealing with the loss of feeling in it. I really want to invest in a solid, safe, and powerful saw that I can pass down to my kids without them risking their fingers. However, with my wife still in school for the next 4-6 months, putting down a lump sum isn't the best move financially right now. Does anyone know if Grizzly or SawStop offers financing or layaway options? Or should I just consider using a third-party service or, as much as I don't want to, wait it out?

One thing you could do is start setting aside the amount you'd usually spend on a monthly payment. This way, when you’re ready to buy, you’ll have the money saved up! It's like saving for a little while to avoid debt later.
Check out Lowe's! They often have great deals, like 20% off with a pro card. Plus, they offer lease-to-own options that might work for you. Just make sure to ask if they have any good contractor saws in stock.
Do you know if Lowe's has any nice contractor saws available? That would be a big help!
