There has been much discussion regarding what seems to be the inverse relationship between the quality of a tool or machine and the instruction manual that comes with it. For example in a recent thread regarding the new Laugna 14/12 bandsaw, James Nugnes remarked that: "I would be fine with the field adjustments if Laguna just did a better job of preparing you for them. There is a tutorial on the assembly of the 14 twelve at their web site but trust me, it is about as useless as the manual." So let me give a hearty applause to the folks from MicroJIG. Not only is there manual outstanding (I'm referencing the GRR-RIPPER 200) but their CD video included in the box is as well. The assembly drawings are perfect. All parts - and there are a lot of them are color coded and/or numbered in the glossary. Plus it is a beautifully designed tool. Don't know how I lived without it all of these years.

Nobody should complain until they have been presented with a Centauro bandsaw manual.

I find it amazing that Harbor Freight has better manuals than most major companies.
