Thread: Table Saw Double-gloat

  1. Ya, but you should have been here when my wife yelled at me for bringing both of those crates home! I had a guy pick one up today and couldn't take the pallet and crate. My wife thinks that her vehicle should be in the garage not all these crates! LOL!

    I am glad that you both are enjoying your saws and thanks for posting. How was the set up for you? Any problems with alignment?

    Yeah, unless you have a pallet jack or a forklift, those crates aren't really easy to move. I think we did pretty good with the rented appliance dolly and my home-made ramps!

    Don came over to help me set mine up, so it was easier than his. I think mine required less adjustments than his did, too. Overall it went together pretty smoothly and the tweaking of settings has been minimal. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and a BIG thank you to you, Jeffrey, for allowing us financially-impaired the opportunity to own such a great saw at a price we could afford.

    Yeah, big thanks to you Jeffrey! I never thought I'd be able to afford a saw like this. Your efforts of selling and meeting us were very much appreciated and we're both very happy with the saws.

    Thanks again!

    Nice sled, Don however, if you'd be open to a slight modification on it? I'd really like to see and additional block or two of wood in the center of the backside of the sled, right where the blade comes out. In other words, once the material being cut has passed completely through the backstop, the blade would be "buried" in the block(s) of wood and not be exposed. Kinda' like to see you hang on to all 10 of your digits!

    John, thanks for the tip! I'll be adding that on next time I get out to the shop.

    Cut straight and square? Is that a secret code for "honey, now I cut so straight, I need a band/scroll/jig saw" LOL.
    Take some of that crate lumber and make a box, to give your wife a present for the garage, and she'll be happy.

    LOL! Maybe if I had a wife, but I have a husband instead.

    Tell me about it! After moving 12 of those things by back and legs are killing me! The upper wheels on the dolly definately saved the day!

    I am glad you guys got them set up with no problems!

    Make lots of dust!

    Did I mention how shockingly QUIET this saw is?? I expected bigger saw = more noise, but the opposite was true. It sounds like the blower on a supercharged car engine, all you hear is belt whine.
    The reduction in noise on a cabinet-type saw is amazing, even when going from a contractors saw. To go from a direct-drive to a cabinet saw must really be great. My first saw was a tabletop version and I always wanted to wear hearing protection when it was on. I sold my contractors saw and now I've got a Unisaw and can even hear the radio when the saw is running (and even sometimes when cutting - if I'm paying attention to the radio instead of my sawing ).

    Congrats on the saws - both of you.
