    Congrats Dave!
    I passed on an older 20"'Northfield last year and really regret it now. At least I didn't pass on the 16" HD jointer from the same sale!
    Looking forward to hearing about this saw. Jeff

    I've wondered how they stay in business unless there's more demand for their machines than I think.

    I'm a weekend warrior. I make sawdust, mostly. I was in the right place at the right time and could not pass it up.

    Got it in and unloaded. It's got power but still needs to be leveled and dialed in.
    I did not get a chance to clean up the re-saw attachments.
    I put a coat of table conditioner on the table
