    Steve, it's always sad to hear of problems like this when eagerness and expectations of instant use of the new toy are so high. As others have already said - your problem is not unique to Grizzly...

    WAY OT - Is it just me...

    Hey Di,

    As you may remember from the BP days, I spent 18 months "researching" miter saws before I made the buy. Believe me, I looked at all of 'em - Bosch, DeWalt, PC, Hitachi, etc., and of course...
