I've been woodworking for about 15 years, but have really increased my interest over the last 3. I am extremly excited to have just made my first new tool purchase! All my previous machines were purchased used. As my skills have increased, I have gotten frustrated with the inability to dial in the accuracy on my benchtop table saw on my shop built table (one of my first projects). The original plan was to save for a Sawstop as I have an 8 year old son. However as it has been discussed in depth on this forum, the $2000 price tag for a contractor saw was just too much. Just having the riving knife and workable blade guard will be huge safety improvements for my shop. Put that together with good old fashioned safety practices and I will be good to go!
Had a little misunderstanng with UPS,so my delivery will be tomorrow, instead of last Friday. Ugh! I should be putting yogether my saw right now, not typing! I was able to swing Tuesday off work, so I should be up and running in no time!

I am a little concerned about the fence, but this is the best saw within my budget. I may just have to retro fit my Beismeyer off my old saw.
