Iguanadon Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Summer Santa is coming tomorrow! He arrives in a big brown truck wearing brown shorts and shirt and he's making a special delivery to Iggy because he's been a good boy... well, he hasn't been mean for a few hours... A brand new Hawk saw will be on his brown sleigh... Counting down the hours... Can't come soon enough, I'm down to my emergency back-up DW788... it sure is cutting smooth compared to the one I recently wore out. wombatie, MTCowpoke22, WayneMahler and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye10 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 WOW!!! Iggy your top dog. We want a complete review by Saturday mourning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE_M Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Are you ready? Did you clear out a space in the workshop for it? Rewire the shop yet? You do realize that it's made in Kansas. It won't work with a normal 110v outlet - you need to hook it up to a windmill - I'm pretty sure I read that on their FAQ page.

Oh crap, I better hop on Amazon and find a quick-ship windmill!!! It likely won't come until late in the day tomorrow, so I may not get a chance to set it up until Saturday after the farmers market...

Scrappile Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Very exciting Iggy, I think I get just as excited reading about someone else getting a new saw as I do when I have one coming....well maybe not quite as excited, but almost. I'm very anxious to read your review/thoughts on it when you get it up and running and have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevan Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Wonderful news and please, please, please post up a review of your new Hawk. I got my "gently" used and I am interested in how they compare (new vs. old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveww1 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 good luck with your new saw, I was hoping to order one too but a new sofa came first. In another year the mortgage will be paid off then the new saw will come along with segmented heads for my jointer and planer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iguanadon Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 We have delivery! Santa just arrived in his big brown truck. First impressions... it's very red and it's VERY heavy. LOL And it's 95 degrees in my garage right now... not pleasant to be assembling a saw, but I'll keep working on it.

Iguanadon Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm literally soaked from head to toe, but it is assembled and it turns on (very important LOL) I'll test it later once I replace a couple gallons of fluids.
