Well I finally decided to upgrade my poor old Delta direct drive table saw after 12 years, so I went to Sears to buy the 22114 zip code saw they had on the Craftsman Club deal for $611, I figured it was not my dream saw but with no 220 (so please dont tell me I should of bouoght a used Unisaw) I figured it was about the best I could do for the money.
Well they did not have it in stock of course but they would order me one.
After trying for a few minutes the salesman said the computer would not allow them to place the order for some reason he could not understand so he would get his manager. The manager tried to order one but he could not get the computer to take the order either.
So he said he would sell me the 22124 with the Commercial Bessy fence for a little over a hundred more..........so in 3 or 4 ddays I am getting the saw I was dreaming about all along but could not make myself pay $400 extra.
Now I have a couple of questions for you guys that have the 22124 ( I seem to remember Glenn Bradley saying he has one).
1. How many boxes will this saw come in and how heavy is the heaviest one?
I need to find some help with unloading and assembly
2. Has anyone mounted a router plate to one of these sawa and if so is there room on the insert at the end or do you have to replace one of the cast iron extentions.
3. Is this Commercial Bessy fence as good as you guys say....I cant wait to find out.
4. Anything else that would help me get this saw up and running . (accesories, tips etc.
Thanks in advance...I am very excited about this new saw
