Kooool!!

Now, you just need to accessorize with a new "Wrap"!!
Makes for a GREAT first project. Oh, and there's a fold down extension on the backside to extend the table another 30" out, with corbles to support it. Plus it rolls away against the wall and out of the way. Built this one for my next door neighbor last year and the only thing I would have added was a couple of electrical outlets ( one on each side ) so I..... uh, he could use hand power tools on the saw-table-top. But, hey, you can't force anyone to do what they don't have a clue about, now can you? It has worked out very well so far. I put a formica top on the entire thing and it's slicker than snot on a glass door knob... Oh, sorry.....

Same cabinet and drawers on each side..... Will store ALL of his portable power tools and hand tools ( when he gets some ).

You got the next model up from his as he got the sheet metal table extensions, but with the table addition, we didn't figure he'd need the cast ones.

Be sure to test all your adjustments ( ie; blade and fence to mitre slots ) before using as those saws are assembled by the kids at their stores usually and are NOT tested for accuracy. Let me know if you want those adjustments. I wrote them up here once but that's been about two years ago and I can't remember the post they were on. Actually, they have them in the manual as I had to do my neighbors just the other day. It's in there!!

Congrats!!! Wish I had a new one...

Oh, are they still making them with 220v option ?? Someone told me they weren't. If you can get that, it's a big bonus! Also, see if you can find some two-belt gang pulleys the size of those on the saw. If you do, don't get the cast alluminum ones, but go for some that are Turned alluminum with the counter balance for the set screw. They are balanced and cut down on any vibration. Check with a saw shop ( sharpening ) or machine shop. Two belts will really help keep it from slipping and bogging down the blade when cutting thicker materials.

Their new fence is 100 times better than any of their past models. I would love to adapt one to my saw.

Enjoy!!
