According to the GOF, the Kapex has had its problems, too. I haven't read the thread for a while but it seems that green wasn't doing anything about it, either.

So what? The objective is not to get the Kapex, the objective is to get SWMBO to sign off on the Bosch.

But what if she says "Go ahead...get the Kapex." ;-)

Now you are up to $2400. Do you have a dust extractor? LOL

Did you ever put your hands on the Bosch saw that you are buying?

The articulating slide is ULTRA smooth compared to any of the regular cylindrical rail slides.

No. Lowes carries them for the same price but according to the customer service rep that I chatted with "Due to the popularity of this item, it is only available on-line." 1/27 would be the earliest I could get it.

The Amazon Bosch is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Of course, today is the day I have off from work. All could do today is put the Delta out in the shed in anticipation of the delivery. Right now I'm taking a lunch break beforeI go back out and finish taking down the Christmas lights.

29° here. You?

Do you mind keeping the warmth down there? I'm trying to enjoy winter, and can't with this half-hearted cool junk we're getting with 30-40F and rain.

20F highs, 10F lows, just about perfect! It's not too cold, but not too warm. The ground freezes, we get snow instead of freezing rain, and life is so much better.

Of course I was responding to:

"that particular model seems to have at one time had a few problems--don't know if they've been resolved

Depends. Has she been looking at new cars? ;-)

We're trying. You can keep that white crap (1/4" of ice last weekend).

I'd love to! But you'll have a hard time selling me 1/4" of ice instead of 3" of snow!

I'd rather have the snow. At least you can push it out of the way. Ice can only be removed by salt or heat.

Well, either has to wait for heat here. There's nothing to push with and the only salt, around, is in shakers. After the 2012 "Snowmageddon", the DOT did get some brine trucks but they're used only on the Interstates and a few state highways.

...and how long do you have to wait for that heat? Hours...maybe a day?

In 2012? Three days. We were without power for 30hrs. All for 2" of snow (in our area). I understand 2010 was much worse.

Last weekend? 12 hours. We got lucky. The rain had all but stopped before it got cold.

Have about a 60 foot limb off one of the oaks laying on the house cause of ice. Dented the gutter, increased squirrel traffic on the roof but no major holes.

Calling the tree guy tomorrow.

Yep, she's pretty smooth!

The saw arrived today. It sure is a lot more saw than the old Delta.

It needs a little fine tuning which I hope to get to over the next day or so. I'll keep you guys informed.

The Amazon price went up $50 yesterday or today. Good thing I ordered it when I did.
