I am very happy with this saw so far. It is a great upgrade from the 10" benchtop saw that I have used for the past 10 years. I ordered it from a local supplier. When the saw arrived they loaded the main box into the back of my pick-up truck with a fork lift. I bought the saw with the 30" table, router-lift and mobile base. I loaded the rest of the boxes and drove home. After unloading everything except the main box, I unloaded it by opening the box and taking everything out part by part and my son and I unloaded the saw.pThe instructions are good. One interesting tidbit is that there is a hint at the beginning of the instructions that says not to remove the protective wax coating until the saw is assembled. Then immediately after this list of hints, before step one in the instructions, it says to remove the protective coating from the saw table. I removed it first so that I wouldn't be sticking my fingers in it during assembly. WD-40 works great to remove the wax coating. Spray it on, wait a couple of minutes and scrap it off lightly with a scraper and wipe with a paper towel. I used a plastic scraper just to be sure that I didn't scratch the table top.pOne review mentioned that there was no information in the instructions on aligning the blade with the T-slots. There is information in my instructions about this. Mine came pretty well aligned, however, I think they need some fine tuning. I ordered an alignment tool and am waiting for that to arrive before I delve into making that adjustment. If I had had the alignment tool I would have done this when I first opened the box. Stand the saw up on its back or side, put a blade on the arbor and adjust it while you have easy access to the bottom and top of the table. If this process proves difficult I will check into the after market devices that you can put on the trunnion bolts to make small adjustments. pOthers have mentioned the difficulty mounting the pulley cover on the motor. The pulley cover assembly sandwiches between the motor and the motor mount. When mine rubbed the belt, I loosened the motor mounting bolts and adjusted the postion of the pulley cover assembly and it works fine.pI attached the cast iron table extensions. On one side I had to use a couple of sheets of paper as a shim to flatten the extension with the main table surface.pI also bought the table extension with the Router-Lift insert. The extension is OK but could be of higher quality. I attached it by laying the tubular steel from the front T-Square rail across the back of the table and clamping it down and then clamping the extension table to it. I did the same with a piece of wood on the front of the table. I would drill and attach the rear of the table, then move the tubular steel to the front of the table and do the same. The extension table did not come with hardware for mounting it to the rails. I have no idea why this hardware is not included. That required a trip to the hardware store.pThe T-Square rip fence is great with the exception of the plastic faces. There was a slight bulge in the fence just past the center screw. The fence face bulged out on both sides of the fence. I tried fixing it by adjusting the the screws and checking the steel behind the plastic face. It was flat. Since I didn't really like the plastic faces anyway, I replaced them. I went down to the home store and bought a half inch thick 36" x 6" high pressure laminate shelf with finished edges. I cut a 2" strip off each edge (using the T-Square without the plastic faces), drilled the holes and mounted it on the steel T-Square. It works great. It is flat and takes a pencil line much better than the plastic.
