My new saw arrived today. I got it all put together without any difficulty, tuned it up, connected it to a FORDUM foot switch I bought yesterday.

The saw works very well, no vibration and the variable speed works great. I didn't have the same problem John had with his stand, everything went together well, I assembled everything loose and then tightened everything after it was assembled and it's rock solid.

I did take the rubber feet that came with my drum sander and used those with some flat washers on the bottom of the legs and it's very stable. I cut several pieces of wood and it's a very nice saw.

I haven't installed the light but before I do I'm going to get longer screws for attaching the light with rubber washers and I hope that prevents the screws from striping out, I'll let you know how that goes.

I also found the saw easy to move with the rubber feet on the legs but will probably switch to casters soon.

I only have a few complaints:

1. The instructions aren't the greatest.

2. I have a few extras that aren't listed or discussed in the manual (see the pic) I assuming one item is a blade guard under the table, the other is a piece of stamped metal that looks like a slotted screwdriver.

3 the miter adjustment isn't the smoothest. It takes 2 hands to angle the top, not what I expected and the top miter pointer has a star screw that didn't come with a corresponding wrench. Other than those things I couldn't be happier.

John I started my work week on Tuesday and the shift I'm on hasn't given me much time to do anything with the saw. I did try a piece of 1.5" thick walnut and it cut through it very easily and with a different blade it should be better. I'll have some more info this weekend hopefully.
