On Christmas Eve, thanks to Chris Brown at Quality Grinding and Keith here at Saw Mill Creek, I was the very lucky winner of a custom made precision ground table saw extension wing, fitted for, and including a Jess-Em Mast-R-Lift! :D

Well... Let me tell you... The great service started on December 24th with an e-mail from Chris...and it continued right through today!
A few measurements to Chris (who always responded quickly) and I started waiting for my new toys.... I didn't have to wait long! :D
Yesterday, the UPS driver left a very heavy package on the front porch.... Packaging was terrific and the extension wing looked great...
In addition, there was a message from Chris on my answering machine wanting to make sure everything arrived ok (how is that for customer service - and I'm not even a paying customer!) :)
Today, another package from UPS, this one containing the router lift... This arrived while I was off to my local Woodcraft to pick up the monster 7518 router to be installed in the lift (good timing as Porter Cable has a rebate on these at the moment)...
Back home it's time to assemble this to the table saw (an old but solid Delta contractors saw that served me well for almost 30 years)...
Assembly was a breeze.... fits like a glove to the saw, and the router lift is an absolutely perfect fit.... heck, the extension is bigger than the cast iron top of the saw...
I can't emphasize how great the fit and finish is on this table extension. When installed, I took my 3 foot straight edge across the table and extension and it was perfectly flat - no shims required, just bolt it tight!
I installed it on the left side of the saw as I think it will work best for me there... Loved that Chris machined slots for a fence as well....
Can't stop smiling and thanking Chris and Keith!! :)
So two big well deserved plugs here...
1) for Chris Brown and Quality Grinding: For a product that is well designed and crafted; For Customer Service and follow-up that was terrific; and for a great Free Stuff contribution to Saw Mill Creek!!
2) for Keith, Jackie, Aaron and the entire group of mods here at Saw Mill Creek... I've been around here since the beginning of the creek and can't say enough good things about this place!!
Of course without pics, it didn't happen...so here you go....
Roger
