Well, saturday AM arrives and the truck rolls up with my new Unisaw, Unifence, and a Unigaurd. All the boxes look in good shape, except the mobile base box...but it appears fine after close inspection. I spend the day assembling the mobile base, getting two cast wings level, attaching the fence, and the Uniguard. My neighbor stops by and helps me put the finishing touches on. We go to place the blade insert in and note it doesn't fit. The blade appears to be in the way. Well..maybe they just didn't align it well at the factory. So I take a look to figure out how to adjust the blade alignment, and notice the front trunnion is broken. Uggh.
I call up Woodworkers Supply where the saw was ordered. The customer service guy doesn't really seem to know what to do in this case, so he notes it in my order and I'll call back monday to see what will happen after he talks to his manager. I really hope I don't have to install the front trunnion myself, and I'm not looking forward to dissassembling a days worth of work either. Uggh.
I'll keep everyone posted on the outcome. Wish me luck.
