This is a follow-up to the thread below. But first I would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome. I think I'm going to like it here.
Well, I DID it! Based on response here and two other forums, I bit the bullet and bought the Smart Miter. I think I got a really good deal on a combo package that included the Smart Miter, Video, & hold down clamp. After I made the order on-line, Jointech emailed me and let me know of an "early-bird" special (advertised in their flyer, which I didn't have a copy of) that the drop off panel was on sale for $20.00, down from $40. I said "sure" add it on. Cosidering time and materials, I figured I couldn't make it for less than that. THEN they said it should be delivered by this Friday! Man, that's service in my book. I also took advantage of the sale on the feather-board for my sawtrain. I'm a happy camper. http://www.jointech.com/jointech_board/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
Now it's on to the project of expanding my shop by 200 sq. ft. After reading the great thread on Jim Kreton's amazing performance with his shop, I'm really inspired. I should be able (based on Jim's work ethic) to do the job in a couple of evenings after work. :D Seriously, I 'm really impressed with his effort and results. Ah, to be young and zealous again. But hey, I just turned 58, so I'm not THAT old. Give me three evenings!!
Thanks again for the input. I appreciated it.
