very nice saw. and you got the extra set of wings what hp motor do you have?
One horse, the only motor it's ever had. The receipt for that say $35. My grandfather also ordered the fence addition for the extra wings. He kept the original for some reason so I was able to add the white countertop extensions and still have a fence track. The one on the right houses the router.
The switch is wired with the vacuum so they both turn on.
Now a lot of folks snicker at the horsepower, in this age of 3 or 5 horse table saws but I like it. I cut a lot of ash, walnut and oak. I resaw ash for drawer sides so I cut 2 inches deep or more one two sides, then finish with the band saw. In the 35 years I have used it I have wished for more horsepower maybe a dozen times. At least that many times I have stopped the blade by doing something that would have resulted in a kickback with a large motor. Most likely the belts slip, the tightening system isn't great, it relies on the weight of the motor.
A good sharp blade cuts 90% of what I need, and I can figure ways around the rest. I also use a molding head some and cut 3/4 dadoes a lot.
I never use the cut indicator in front of the blade. Occationally I have to realign the trunions to the miter slot. Put a piece of Masonite between the miter gauge head and bar, that results in a huge improvement of control, just like a crosscut sled.
