but not that impressed with the few times I have.
i'm not either. when i lock the fence the far end pulls in before the near end and tries to lock crooked. i have to reach across and hold the far end in place then partial lock the handle, remeasure, readjust. rinse . repeat.
knowing that it tries to lock crooked means finding a groove on the deck and measuring from the far side of the deck to the fence and the near side of the deck to the fence and readjusting until the fence is perpendicular to the deck/blade and then remeasuring from blade to fence to make sure the width is correct.
it can take 10-15 minutes to adjust for one cut sometimes. i never ever would have taken this "free" saw had i any idea.
but once it's set up, it does cut nice but totally not worth the space it takes up.
i bought an extra deck piece for the router cutout and an extra sled so i don't have the huge gaps in the table . i'll take a pic when i get the garage whipped back in shape unless i can find a pic of the last time the garage was clean.
i've got drivers for 3 pair of speakers. if my health allows me to actually build those 3 sets of speakers, i am throwing that saw out after i am done and pulling my crapsman back out.
it came with the extension that extends the length of the deck, which is nice but thats a whole nuther ****story of adjustment. i was going to buy the flip up extension to increase the depth , from ebay but the shipping was retarded.
when i got that saw, he included the matching router that mounts in the table but hardware for mounting was missing. i probably spent $40 at ace buying the hardware i needed. the first time that i needed to route something, the router would not turn on. the brushes were fine too. after all i had just went thru to get it right, i HAD to buy another router that i could mount in the deck because neither of my craftsman routers would fit.
you can't adjust the canter of the blade either. the adjustments are there but you have to drill holes to access them. so dumb. i hate that thing
