Can anyone tell me the differences?
I have an oppty to buy an EB 2 and don't know what improvements were made with the EB3.
Thanks

Joe, I just ordered an EB-3. I believe the EB-3 has an eccentric bolt that allows you to calibrate the unit to your saw. Also, the EB-3 is actually made by Excalibur, rather than Osborne. I also saw a review somewhere that compared the two, but I can't recall where it was. (You might try a Google search.)Originally Posted by Joe Scarfo

I can't speak to the differences, but I've been using the EB-2 for a few years. It has stayed true and square, even after a cross-country move from Boston to Chicago. The detents at 0, 45, and 22.5 degrees have been dead-on from day one.

I have the EB-3 and it has the eccentric fine adjustment. Not accurate or doodaddy enough for some here but it works very well for my style of woodbutchering. Norm likes it too!!

Screws are kinda like knots, if you can't use the right one, use lots of 'em.
The greatest tragedy in life is the gruesome murder of a beautiful theory by a brutal gang of facts.
