Hello,
I just purchased a floor model Dewalt DW746x from Lowes for $649, which is $250 off list. It doesn't have a manual so I don't know if anything needs to be done before starting it up and verifying the motor works. I also don't know if I have all the parts or not as there were a couple loose parts and a wrench. Anyone with information on this saw or the manual in electronic form? I am getting a manual sent to me but it will probably take a week or two.
This is my first big woodworking power tool purchase.
What sort of upgrades would you recommend? Is it worth it to upgrade to a WWII or is a $50 Freud good enough? Blade balancers? Should I upgrade the belt? What sort of measuring equipment should I get to tune up the saw?
I can't wait to start playing (I mean being serious) with it. I am so sick of trying to make straight cuts with a circular saw.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
David
