Ok, I finally got my new SS contractor saw all together. I got the cast iron wings, mobile base and industrial fence. Yeah!
For those who followed the fence thread, this industrial fence is the real deal. No wonder Walt thought I was nuts. If I complained about THIS fence I should be committed.
It is a rock. Glides like buttah on a hot griddle........ Went together very easily. Totally rock solid. Did I mention I kinda like it?
The saw itself is great. Haven't cut with it yet.......too tired. Spent all weekend installing three, yes three fences. Incra.......didn't work right. It is too long. This mobile base only has two pivoting wheels, not four like my old saw. With the Incra, to make long or wide cuts over 24" the positioner sticks out so far that you have to push the saw towards the opposite wall and angle it towards the corner. No problem with four pivoting wheels, not so easy with only two.
Then tried the stock contractor fence. POS. Worthless. So today I drove back out to Woodcraft and they returned it and gave me credit towards the industrial fence.
I know, no pics, it doesn't exist. I will post pics tomorrow. Need a nap!
