Hello there,
I just bought a Jet 10" contractor style TS and I'm thinking about alignment. Seems that everyone here (save one) says that the TSAJr. is really the bees knees, but I guess I'm sort of having trouble justifying an alignment tool that costs close to one third of what I paid for the saw. Does anyone here have one that they hate or don't use that I could buy? Does anyone here even have a rational reason to dislike the tool at all?
Also, I had been reading good reviews of the PALS system until I came across a thread here in the Wreck that indicated it might be more of a band-aid than a panacea. However, for $20 I'm fairly inclined to take a flyer - although I don't like the idea of "forcing" something into place. Any thoughts?
On a related note, I also picked up a Porter Cable router with fixed and plunge bases (693LRPK). Tossed in were an Oldham 8" carbide tipped dado stack (unopened) and a 12-pack of Hickory brand router bits. The guy bought everything two years ago and said the saw's been used maybe
6 times. I believe him. He also said the router was "tried out" but never used. There's not a mark on it. I got the lot for 540 bucks how'd I do?JP
************** Mobile.PS - I'll most likely buy the TSAJr new if I have to, but I'm willing to do a public service by not letting a good tool go unused.
