Eddie,
The slower it goes, the better.
The heavier it is, generally translates into being more stable.
Use clamps, vices etc. etc. they can flat out tear you up if the piece gets away from you.
I use a foot switch on mine. That in conjunction with the side switch make it safer. (surplus center I think for my foot switch)
If I had to buy another today, it would be the $400 ish one from HF (biggest) but Grizzly is almost always a good value, and Great if you have problems, they make it right.
The mid size cheapie chinese one is what I have now, and for the $150 or so I spent on it, it was well worth the money. 3 pulleys on top for speed reduction.
