Customer Review: Excellent Saw. Here's how to make it even better
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great saw for home use, for a hobbiest, and even for a low production professional. If you were a pro cabinet builder and you run your saw all day long then you would want one of those enclosed base table saws with more horse power. But I have yet to do anything with my saw that requires more horse power than it can put out.

I've replaced the existing drive belt with about 5 feet of link belt. If a solid drive belt sits in the same position for a long time (like if you don't use your saw for a few weeks or months) then the drive belt will develop a kink where it goes around the drive pullies. When you start the saw back up you'll get a lot of vibration. If you will have periods of non-use then a link belt would be a good investment.

I also had an electrician follow the instructions in the user's manual for changing the saw from 110 to 200 volts. It draws half as many amps and (i'm told) that moter will last longer.

Get yourself a really good blade. You can get a Forrest Woodworker II blade right here on Amazon and you'll be glad you did. You'll be amazed at the difference a high quality blade will make.

Before you run the saw follow the setup instructions to make sure the blade is aligned to the miter slots. I checked mine with a dial indicator accurate to 0.0005" and my saw was perfect right out of the box.

Also follow the instructions to make sure the fence is parallel to the blade. I used shims cut from a soda can to adjust the fence slightly. Then shim the fence to make the face absolutly 90 deg to the table. By the way, the fence on this saw is wonderful. It's very accurate and repeatable. It's easy to adjust and it locks down solid. I've never had it move during a cut.

USE THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER! Although most people seem to take the stock blade guard off, you will be vastly safer if you leave it on. The stock blade guard that comes with the saw has a splitter with built in anti-kickback pawls and it's easy to remove if you need to make dado cuts. Leave the guard in place.

Level the saw on it's frame, read the safety instructions one more time and start her up. My saw can pass the "nickle test" where you balance a nickle on it's edge on one of the saw's table wings, start the saw up and if the saw runs smoothly enough the nickle won't even fall over when the motor starts.

Now, get yourself some push sticks, eye protection, and hearing protection and use them EVERY TIME. The quality of this saw is such that it will last you a lifetime. Stay safe and enjoy it and you'll pass it down to your grandkids.
