Customer Critiques

This sliding table is like all Exaktor goods I've come across. Its well built, well created, and brings some assembly required to new heights. Envision your new automobile came in 50,000 parts, with an incomprehensible instruction manual. That's exaktor.
I am mechanically talented. I personal lots of tools. I've assembled lots of tools. I can't envision what putting this together would be like for the typical individual.
When assembled - five stars. Awesome product, absolutely nothing inexpensive about the components. I have some style tweaks I'd make - square the table to itself, then make it parallel to the miter slot, THEN do what they say and adjust the outer rail, as just taking the alignment of the inner rail to the saw could outcome in the hell of getting three/32 off - quite a lot unsolvable the way they want you to solve it. Attempt to get that inner rail as parallel as doable...
The assembly method gets one particular star. And doesn't deserve that high a ranking. Attempt it. You'll see...

I puchased this to to use at a "hobby level." The installation instructions are wanting. With a bit of function they could be significantly greater. I ended up going more than to a friend's shop to see how he had installed the system as well as getting support from the Woodcraft retailer mananger, before I was productive in getting the table close to getting correctly intalled. Finding the program tuned in is a complete other issue. The extension legs are challenging to level mainly because they do not have simply adjustable feet. I ended up creating my personal to level the method with my table saw. Also,
the mechanism used to preserve the fence at 90 degrees to the fence could use some improvement. But, as soon as set up the (about 25 hours for a initially timer like me) it functions well and tends to make cross cuts considerably safer.
