FWIW...
Got a much anticipated call today to let me know that my Unisaw has arrived and is ready for pickup. Man, it already seems like Friday will never get here...
Thanks again to all of you who weighed in on my dilemma. Certainly didn't want to create the ruckus that I did, but I did appreciate all the points of view...and the sanity check. I talked to my sales guy today and he said we could talk about making up for the delay on Friday when I pick the saw up...and my new mortiser (a freebie).
Guess I'm now off to DAGS on the best practises for setting this beast up.
Thanks again, Rob
