I have limped along with this thing for the past 4 years. My wife bought it as a gift. She meant well as it was WAY better than what I had. So after reading this you can use your imagination as to what I started with.<br>1. The shim at the back of the height adjustment fell out within the first 6 <br> months so that has been a pain. I have to lift the back of the motor while<br> raising the blade. I use the wrench as a lifting device. Fun.<br>2. The pinion gears clog with sawdust so you are constantly screwing with<br> that issue.<br>3. The raise/lower handle keeper (at the keyway) broke about a year ago.<br> so I used a piece of conduit to hold that together. More fun. A crescent<br> wrench works also. Way more fun.<br>4. And now the miter table fell off the guides so I'm out until I get <br> that replaced.<br>5. The dust collection system leaves a lot to be desired. I connect a piece of <br> PVC to the port and connect that to a garbage can. Pretty backwoods but <br> it works (sort of) until you are running thick stock. Then saw dust flies <br> everywhere. The fun continues.<br>6. The 90 degree stop on the mitre table broke at aabout three months.<br><br>And so it goes. Over all though I have been able to turn out some above average products with this. It is not a high grade saw and I never expected it to be. I never expected it to be such a pain though. It has provided me with a lot of good times and a lot of angry moments.<br>Unfortunately I will continue to limp along with this until I can afford to upgrade. Grizzly, Powermatic, Delta...
