Does anyone out there have one of these new generation Craftsman with the inboard mounted motor?
I looked at the professional model with the Biesemeyer fence but noted that the fence was engaged only at the front and could be moved when pushed at the rear.
I am considering replacing my 22 year old Craftsman and would like to make a good choice since this would probably be the last table saw I buy.
My old one had some glaring weaknesses: a belt drive that turned a pulley wheel which was always making noise and then coming off. It was held on the motor shaft with a small metal moon shaped "key" set screwed into a slot in the motor shaft. What a troublesome thing it has been, and very noisy to operate.
I hope the new belt drives are a bit different.
Thank guys.
