Do you need to remove the brass plate connecting the two hot screws?

Just put it together last night. No damage, cause I picked it up from Muncy PA. All parts included to the last washer. About 1 hr to set up. Fired it up today, cut some small Red birch parts for a hardwood floor vent. Ripped some 6" poplar. Cuts fine. I just notice the weld mark on the Grizzly blade marks the wood when I cut. So back to the shop with a dremmel. After one day, I am pleased with it. 350 lbs so I put it on a Fox shop mobile base. Also set it one 3/4" plywod to give clearance for the door. The fence needs more adjustment. But all in all a fine Import tool. I also have the 3HP shaper, 8" jointer, 12" Cabinet saw, all work fine

Is this a standalone question or does it have something to do with this thread, which started over 7 years ago.

If you want half of the receptacle switched (red) and the other hot all the time, yes you break off the tab..

Can’t believe no ones replied to this yet, 7 years and counting.

Don't know what you are looking. I see over 20 replies since

2014 and even some as late as 2021.
