Jimbo, There is nothing better than fresh wood dust on a new saw!

So how do you really like it?  I love how high the upper arm lift is.  Great for those real thick pieces of wood.  How about the tilting head?  Have you tried it yet?

The dust on the table is a pain I will have to try out some way to stop it I have an exhaust fan underneath but that is limited in removing the dust, I have not tried the tilting head as yet as I'm trying to get a few other things done for the coming selling season,. the lifing arm is brilliant for threading blade through, I have been on it most of the morning and have gone through a few blades already the cutting is a lot faster and easier to handle

Wow what a nice saw, how is the vibration. I was wondering like Cherie, about the table tilt. Does it tilt smoothly?

No Viabration, table doen't tilt it is the top arm, and it tilt both ways, havn't tried yet,
Don't have to square blabes up when they are changed either
