Customer Review: Good Tool With a Good Foot Print
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a good table saw with better good collection, and a good fence. Like all of you, I looked in the woodworking magazines, reviews on Amazon.com, talked to my friends and looked at saws in the store. I chose this one. Also I have one car space of my garage for woodworking. Mostly I don't make wide rips, so a 30" rip capability meets my needs.
I purchased the saw from Amazon. I picked it up at the ABS freight terminal. Unloading this beast was not the chore I thought it would be. I used two 8' 2x12s as ramps, and my wife, son and I unloaded it from my truck (2 pushed the saw down the ramp and one worked on the down hill side to keep it from getting away).
I was able to move the cabinet off the pallet and onto the mobility base using the 1x3 southern yellow pine pieces delta used for packaging support. The rest of the assembly went well. The instructions were straightforward, with may be a couple of steps omitted, and the fence instructions referenced some bolts, that were not supplied. I purchased bolts referenced, and found that the head was proud of the angle iron support. I used the ones supplied and they worked fine. After assembly, the fence was a bit out of parallel with the blade and needed to be adjusted. The adjustment was simple, and my cuts are quite nice.
Some of the reviews mention the flatness (or lack there of) of the table. I checked the top with my tri-square ruler, and its not perfectly flat. However it is flat enough for square cuts.
The few I have a few complaints. I would have preferred a 2nd cast iron wing. The miter gage is not so hot (but no one expects it to be). I plan to buy an aftermarket gage. The splitter and blade guard are annoying to remove for non-through cuts, and the rear support for the splitter/guard gets in the way of out feed support.
I found an article on the WoodCentral web site that showed a couple of ideas how to modify stock guard/splitter to make it easier to remove and preserve the guard (the URL is http://woodcentral.com/cgi-bin/readarticle.pl?dir=powertools&file=articles_234.shtml). With this modification the splitter/guard is nice and I think it meets my needs.
I make a bookshelf out of plywood and oak using this saw. When reducing the plywood I found the height of the saw was good for manhandling the sheet. I also see the attraction of a 50" fence. However I don't use much plywood and the footprint of this saw leaves a room to move in my one car woodworking space.
I was pleasantly surprised about the handles. Some of the reviews lead me to believe that they were cheesy. They are made of cast iron, and have a solid feel. I like `um.
I have used this saw to make 2 projects and some jigs. The cuts are oo-so fine. The dust collection works like a champ (for the dust in the cabinet). The 2 wrench blade change is nice. The on-saw storage is OK. The table board is nice, the lamination is slick and level enough with the cast iron table.
