new2woodwrk Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Got the saw late today and set it up - it was fairly easy, not sure about the table level though - no instructions. Also the blower tube was broke! Hopefully I can get a replacement tube for it - they're probably closed over the weekend of course One thing about this saw is it is HUGE! Easily twice as big as the Wen We're off to scroll practice Edited March 17, 2018 by new2woodwrk meflick and kmmcrafts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 The whole tube broke? or just a few of the sections? I took mine apart when I got my DeWalt as the hose was too long for my liking and kept getting in my way.. I took a few of the links out to shorten it up some.. Those come apart ( hard but they do ) and when trying to reconnect.. then it's easier to have them heated up so they have a little more flexibility.. Just run them under hot water for a few minutes and sometimes helps if the water is a little soapy so they slip together easier... though it does also make it harder to hold onto Enjoy making some sawdust new2woodwrk, OCtoolguy and SCROLLSAW703 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL 9 hours ago, lew said: Very pretty!! Going to be my next purchase!!! @lew - this thing is gorgeous! But I warn you, if you have a small shop like I do (1 side of a 2 car garage) you probably want to make sure you have room for it first! If you look at the picture, my work bench is 8' x 3' and it covers a significant part of my bench - so much so, I may have to bring in one of my other work benches for more layout space LOL I think I can fit one more small work bench in the shop, but if I do, I don't think I'll have room for a planer :( which should be my last big purchase for awhile OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
