hey Frank, thanks for sharing your experience. I have the same machine and found your videos extremely useful. Can I ask if you had any trouble squaring up the sliding mechanism to the saw? I found the slide to always be out bit when compared to the fence which seems quite accurate out of the box. I also found it a bit tricky to level up the support frame for the slider.
Yea it was difficult. The company I bought it from included setup in the cost. The engineer took ages to get it square. His method involved a 4x4 sheet of mdf, doing a cut alone 1 side then turning it 90 degrees and doing another cut. He then compared the 2 strips he cut off to see if the were the same size at both ends. He kept making minor adjustments until they were.
