Hello all,
First a big THANK YOU for all that are making this forum such a pleasure to attend.My name is Kent and I began my woodworking journey apprenticing as a woodboat builder. After leaving the yard, I worked for myself repairing and doing alterations to boats and eventually specializing in full and partial boat interiors. About 18 years ago I took a slight tack and began inspecting vessels which in the marine industry is called a marine surveyor/consultant.
I still have a tremendous need to create and also have a detached "2 car" shop, so....after three years have managed to finally empty the junk and make way for my sanctuary.
First big purchase is a General International 50-260. (Taiwan made) Really pleased with the overall quality, finish and machining of the table top. Oddly enough the Canadian fence, which is just like a Biesmeyer I had, is not square to the table on the left side, only the right side.(see photos if they show up). I am in discussion with my supplier who has inform the regional General rep. Just waiting for a call to see about getting a new fence.
Anyone ever check theirs for square?
More on the saw after its up and running.
KP
