Yes, since there is always a cutter on the wood it's going to strain more than the three straight blades. I just don't get greedy and take the extra pass.

Yes on the jack screws. I guess my concern was raising them to the point of not getting a good grip. Raised them and it looks good. thanks.

I'm replacing knives on a older Powermatic model 60. The new blades are 1/8" shorter. They fit in the head ok but I will have to lower the outfeed side. Lowering it will also move it slightly away fro...

Nothing fancy on the wires. The 2 Y go through the table. The router power goes up the dust collection. X and Z are in a loop on the side of the table. Everything pinned down and secure.

Got mine early. Went with the Woodworker. Only took 4 weeks. Had to clear up space and run some dust collection. Ready to flatten the spoil board and cut a grid and holes. Fingers crossed!

Looks great! Waiting on mine. If I can ask, what is your top size and where do you plan on mounting the controller?

Question. How often do you run your Saw Stop in bypass mode.  Or, when would you run in bypass. Seems any glue ups or staining makes me want to run in bypass.

Question. Did you notice the lift screw getting "tight" as you raised to change a bit? Mine is not as smooth as before. Just wondering.
