New to me

Silly me, I did it.  I brought it home.  Now, I have to figure it out.  Runs very quiet (even quieter than my Hegner). It is very smooth when not cutting wood; I have not cut anything yet.  After going through the paperwork, I found the original receipt.  2004, a little older than I would have guessed. I have three clamps, A bunch of blades that are not what I use, a shelf that attaches to the side with blade holders, a mag light, and a deadman foot switch. I don't use those, I prefer on/off switches.  There is some glue and paint splatter on the stand I would like to get off, but I'm not sure how.  So, I will do some general cleanup and waxing.  Then, go about learning how to use it.  Compared to my Hegner, it seems a little awkward, but once I figure it all out, I think I will enjoy it.  One thing that really surprised me is the size.  I thought it would sit lower than my Hegner, and I would have to go back and forth from high stool to lower chair,  but the table top is actually about 1" higher than the Hegner table.  In fact, I am not sure where I am going to put it.  Something is going to have to go!

Congrats on the new toy.... Yeah they are big and bulky saws and do take up a bit of space.. 

A 220VS Ultra popped up on marketplace at a pretty decent deal.. I've always wanted a smaller Ultra style Hawk.. It's got the marbles in my head rolling around so much I can't sleep very well, 🤣  I don't need another saw.. nor do I want it take up yet more space in the shop on something that would probably be used very little..

That's great Paul. It looks great. Just like the one I had. They do take up a lot of space. Very large format. Once you figure out the tensioning set up, you'll love it. Set it and forget it. That paint spatter may soften up with a heat gun. Now that you have finally pulled the trigger, you can get back to sawing and forget the ads. I'm just about to to pull the trigger on that 14" Hegner that I was telling about. The guy just wants it gone but so far no bites. He's asking $100 complete with stand, foot switch and lite. I've tried to tell him it's worth more but he just wants it gone. So, it may come home with me. I really don't need another saw but it's really tugging at me. Even my wife said I should go get it. That's saying something.
