First of all, this machine is wonderfully powerful, very smooth, very high-quality in engineering and materials and has proved to be a fantastic addition to my shop. One minor thing is that there is a gauge inside the upper cabinet next to the wheel that shows the tension on the blade. There’s a pointer that moves up and down on a graphic scale. On my machine, it did not work at all. It was not even connected to the tension mechanism. I had to add a spring that pulled up on the pointer arm so that it kept contact with the elevation of the tension device. Now it works well. This was not even mentioned in the instruction booklet. There’s even a little window where you can see this pointer without opening the upper wheel housing. Very odd. Considering how completely well-thought-out this machine is, I wonder why that happened. I also added a work light that is wired to the main switch. Most LED work lights now are dual voltage. I simply ordered one with a strong magnetic base and a gooseneck and removed the plug at the end, stripped and tinned the wires, added heat shrink tubing to toughen the end of the wire and provide a strain relief, and then I opened the switch housing. With the wiring diagram, I found the two wires that output the switched power to the motor and loosened the screws, slid those tinned wire tips inside the terminal clamps and re-tightened the terminal clamps. Using a rat tail file I filed a small groove in the edge of the switch housing and anchored the strain relief on the cable there. I reassembled the switch housing and using magnetic hooks, routed the wire safely to the top of the machine. Now I have a good strong work light that turns on with the motor and turns off as well. This is something I think should have been included in the original design of the machine. It would be simple to add a work light to this machine. All in all, it’s a fantastic machine. The price was reasonable as well. One pro tip for mounting it to the Mobile base they also sell. I use the strips of cardboard under the edges of the machine base that I had previously rubbed with paraffin on their underside. This allowed me to remove the bolts, anchoring the machine to the pallet. It was delivered on and slide it relatively safely, controllably, and easily onto the Mobile base which I lashed to the pallet. This made it possible to transfer a 300+ pound machine onto the mobile pace safely single-handedly. There is no contact of the machine and the mobile base in the process either. It came out perfectly. I’ll include a photo

I love the saw. This is a beefy, well made and easy to use saw. The tooI-less blade guides are a breeze to use to set for a new blade. The dual dust ports help keep the interior of the saw mostly free of major sawdust and the table relatively clear. It was fully assembled on the pallet so I didn't need to do anything except move the power switch box, attach the allen key storage rack and install a blade.

I did find the tension indicator wasn't installed correctly as the upper pivot wasn't captured so it swung down freely. I contacted Support and they quickly provided me with instructions on how to get it right. Kudos to Support & considering the rest of the setup they did before shipping, I think I'm still better for them having done it and only needing to deal with the tension indicator.

I made a few modifications to the saw adding magnetic lights for the front window to use when switching blades to make sure it's riding on the wheel correctly and swapped out some of the knobs/handwheels. I replaced the table tilt and blade guard height adjusting handwheels with ones that had a right angle handle to make it easier to spin the wheels. I also replaced the blade guard tightening knob and the blade tilt tightening knob with lever bolts. This makes adjusting either of these a simple matter of flipping the lever and then using the adjusting wheels. I also replaced the lower thrust bearing wing bolt with a longer M8-40 socket cap screw to make it easier to loosen & tighten the thrust bearing. The wing bolt is hard to get at with your fingers if the table is horizontal. Replacing it with the M8 bolt allows me to reach it easily with one of the included allen wrenches.

One thing to note is the Stain-Less table is not "stainless" because I left a neodymium magnet on the table overnight and when I removed it the next day it left a ring. Even though it is much more forgiving than a cast iron table, it's still a good idea not to leave stuff on it that might mark it. I've treated it with Boeshield T-9 which should help and I wouldn't worry if I spilled a soda on it, but I'll still not leave things on the table overnight.
