Yippeee! New saw is up and running!

Hiya Folks,Just putting the finishing touches on my new G1023SL. I got the 220V and sub panel wired today andput my Vega fence on it. When I first fired it up, I thought "Oh great, this is no better than my contractorsaw". It was kind of noisy and failed the nickle test miserably (actually my Jet contractor saw passes thistest with no problems). So unplugged the thing and started tinkering a bit. Tightened the belts although theydidn't seem to be awfully loose and voila, passes the nickle test.All in all, I'm happy with it and my progress considering I unloaded it, put it on a mobile stand, installed the Vega,ran a new subpanel, and got it all tuned up in about a day and a half with no "helpers". Now I just gotta decideif I want to keep that 44" extension table on it. Sure looks nice but in a 2 car garage (which houses the wife's carat night), it sure takes up space. May just go back to my 36" extension. I'll have to get the Jet saw cleaned up andsee if I can sell it. Kind of sad actually as it's my first saw and it's been a pretty good workhorse for me. Hmmm,can I stash 2 saws in the garage.......Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble a bit.Cheers,cc

The *other* upside to Alzheimer's I suppose.

Personally, I like the fact that "everyday's a new day, and every face is a new face" to me. Every known and then I get a recollection akin to "I know I hate this sumb*tch, but for the life of me, I can recall why!"
