This is a great saw - I have been wanting one of these for at least 8 years. The unifence works perfectly and the saw runs very smooth. The shipping company was a bit rough with the saw (the tip-over indicator had been tripped) but with the decent job of packaging nothing was damaged. The fence package was broken open as well and the only problem was a missing part, but luckily I didn't need that part right away and a replacement part was received within a few weeks.

Size, power, flexibility, power, precision, power, power, power. I'm a casual woodworker. I'd like to think I'll someday get good enough to find some obscure feature this saw lacks. I doubt I ever will. My 2nd and final saw purchase. No regrets, not even the cost.

Amazon shipped this item using ABF as the freight company. Either the table saw was not secured to the pallet or ABF removed the strapping, because the tip indicator had been activated. In addition, the box was crushed on one side and there was a 6 inch and an 8 inch hole in the box. A quick inspection also revealed the motor cover had been crushed and the styrofoam packing was laying in pieces. The drill press, shipped on the same order, had punched through the box and had indications that the shaft impacted with another item. The jointer also had punched through the box and styrofoam packing material.

All items were on pallets however, none of the items were strapped down to the pallet and no shrink wrap was used to secure the items to each other.

After a full day of deliveries by this truck, there were no signs of tie down straps, loose or otherwise, anywhere on the truck nor were the other two crates on the truck strapped down. Boxes listed as 'This Side Up' were laying on their sides. Boxes clearly labled 'Top Heavy' were not secured to pallets.

After seeing this level of shipping abuse, no further inspection was necessary as the entire shipment had to be refused.

Interesting enough, Amazon is glad to cancel the order and provide a refund however, I somewhat expected them to offer to resend the items using another carrier... which they did not.
