    As far as I know, the d.c. guards are the same for either model.

    LOL! But we do have a protocol for getting each others' attention in the shop (she's into it also).

    Well I got it. It took half a day and was tricky getting out of a garage that had a steep incline.

    Seller can't locate brakes and riving knife as they are mid move and it boxed up. I'm antsy to use BUT need to figure out if the 52" rails fit in my garage. My unisaw was the 36" and didn't have much more room with router table and other equipment. I may sell off some 14' lengths of 8/4 & 10/4 mahogany in order to make space. Could always cut the rails down.

    Also need to decide on whos blade guard to use. Buy sawstops or use the sharkguard that I have.

    Congratulations! You'll enjoy the saw and the protection it provides.

    Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.

    Like Mike, I am sure you will enjoy the saw. But contrary to Mike, I hope you keep your fingers away from the blade and DO NOT enjoy the protection it provides.
