this is quite a machine. the hardest thing, re assembly, was the base cabinet to the unit itself. but, then again, i'm a crippled up old man, making it hard to get on the shop floor and roll around trying to get to that screw in the far inside upper corner. i would have paid an extra $100 for someone to have put it together for me. regardless, the band saw is heavy and extremely solid. the motor reaches top speed almost instantly. the flexible light is weak, and useless, i'll have to replace it. it would be nice if the table was made of cast iron. however, it is made of pressed steel that is 3/16\" thick, again, not cast but barely adequate. all in all, i'll give it a 5 star rating. mainly because i was tickled pink to get it. it's a beauty and the price is right. my older brother bought a powermatic for the twice the amount. HA! his loss. oh, by the way, there were 2 parts left over and neither were in the book. perhaps vevor will reach out and explain where they go. i can't wait to put this through it's paces. i have hundreds of bowl blanks to cut up and store. thank you, vevor...but put a decent table with it, ok?
