Clayton717 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Well yesterday after lots of going back and forth between saws. I ordered my Excalibur 21 hopefully it will be here soon. With buying extra blade holders and the cost, the Hawk it just wasn't possible now. I only hope I made the right choice and the EX21 last a lot longer than my Dewalt did.

Doug Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 You will like it - I have the DeWalt and EX21. After problems with the DeWalt I got the EX21 while the DeWalt was being repaired. The DeWalt is now my backup. I have a Hawk on my wish list. I have no idea what your shop is like Clayton but I put the stand on 3/4 ply with 4 inch locking swivel casters and then also slapped a piece of 3/4 ply between the stand and saw so I had a storage shelf right next to the saw. Let us know your thoughts on the dust collection. I am not impressed and have my own PVC Rube Goldberg setup for dust collection. amazingkevin and Clayton717 2 Quote

amazingkevin Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 I think i'd like two dw788 instead for the same money!But that's me! Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Good Choice Clayton you'll love it. I think you'll make more bowls at cut angles more with this one. I used to hate cutting on and angle now it's flat on the table it's so much better you'll just have to remember your not at 90 deg's when finished. I've just have a nice Crimbo present this bevelbox love it. Roly Clayton717 1 Quote

Clayton717 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Posted December 29, 2014 just got a shipment notice, the saw will be here next Monday. I can't wait Quote
Matthew Boarts Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 I was doing a search on the saw as I just ordered one from the same place and found this forum! There are so many places for information on the net. I am glad to have found this site. Mine will get here on Friday. Looking forward to working this new saw! Quote
wombatie Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Congratulations for biting the bullet and getting the EX21, I know that you have wanted one for a while. Hope you will be very happy together. Marg Quote
