    Always glad to see another write up on the saw, 691 in my case, that I'm saving for.
    Ok, Stan, I understand the teflon in the spray paint, but how did you bake it. Yes, oven I'm sure, but what did you mount it on, and how long at what temp? Sounds like a neat thing to do to any sliding metal surface. How durable is this paint? How many colors does it come in?
    Congrats on the new saw Matt! Jim.

    No, I'm not an electrician. Any information I share is purely what I would do myself. If in doubt, hire an electrician!

    A good table saw is like a good wife

    Matt,

    A good table saw is like a good wife. Your previous TS relationship was like an inadequate, violent, and failed first marriage. I'm glad you got a good saw now. I predict you'll have many happy years together. I once asked myself that same question about why would one spend so much on one tool for a hobby. I then proceeded to buy what was an expensive saw for me at the time. That was when I was 25. I'm now 50. The amount of wood I've pushed through that saw is unfathomable. Me and that saw have had some great times. Together we furnished a home and personalized it with a lot of built-ins. But now I'm beginning to look at the newer models. The ones with all the nice features like yours...

    That's a beautiful machine. I bet it operates as well as it looks.

    By the way, great choice of decorations for it too. I particularly like the decal!
