    I use my TV to play DVD or VCR of woodworking shows. It's great to watch wood turning technique & the apply what you've seen.

    Ok, for all the picture hounds, I figure I would put it here.

    So far the height doesn't appear to be a problem. I can actually see the blade better at the downward angle. I added a 6" board to the back of the saw, as I didn't want to put miter slots in my work table. Also I am not sure where a lot of the fasteners were below the surface of it. The table comes in at around 1/8 lower than the saw, according to where you roll it, guess my floor isn't perfect flat I want to build a good crosscut sled next and a few other items for this saw. Other than that, I am one happy camper.

    If you don't take pride in your work, life get's pretty boring.

    Rule of thumb is if you don’t know what tool to buy next, then you probably don’t need it yet.

    I have seen a lot of shop pic's here.

    But what I want to know is......How do you keep them so clean? You guys got Shop Gremlin's that come in to clean.

    Allen, I would marry it, if I could.

    John, it is actually dirty. Little embarrassing posting that picture.

    my only problem with it is I dont have enough suction when I forget to close any other gate. I get alot of sawdust accumulating inside the body at the bottom. The overhead blade guard completely eliminates any dust blowing back in my face(enough that I never notice it anymore as long as IM not cutting an edge).
    If I clean the dust collector daily, keep the filter super clean inside, and shut all the gates, Im ok, but Im too lazy to address the collector every day.
    when I work with all the saws, Im also too lazy and too senile to remember to close the other gates.
    I guess if I put in electronic gates(Im too cheap for that), Id be better off.

    I think the electronic gates can be built cheaper than bought? I remember seeing it somewhere. I am going to do a "Walmart rig" of my DC for now. I need to always have a hose on that saw, period.

    Congrats Steve. Looks great sitting there
