Long Cab ride: SC to Cary,via Mooresville

[Splint Eastwood]

Well I've finally arrived! It was an interesting journey starting with a NCWW ad for a Steel City cabinet saw to a Pony Express request, another ad for a Jet Contractor saw, PM's, phone calls etc....But here it is!

My first cabinet saw!

Thanks to Bill (bwat) I was able to receive this immaculate piece of iron artwork! From it's classic lines, to it's massive Bies style fence and rails and cast iron wings which moves gracefully on the Delta mobile fence. I couldn't be more pleased.

A gracious gentleman woodworker who appreciates fine toolery! Not only did he deliver this gem, but also included a new Freud ripping blade and new inserts to initiate it properly!

Thanks Bill!

The journey only continues. Now to the business of Ripping On!

Thanks all,
Matt

But do you have to be so neat and clean and color coordinated?:gar-Bi

Nice saw. You Rock!!!!

You are most welcome Matt. It was good meeting you and your wife last week. Sure am glad I took the added time to clean it up for you or it would have really felt out of place. Your shop is immaculate and well equipped. We look forward to project pics.

And yes, I did see a little sawdust on the epoxy floors behind his jointer!:gar-La;

Congratulations Matt, I am glad it all came together for you. I do agree with Barbara though, your shop is far too clean and organized. :wsmile:

I would think a new table saw would take care of that "neat and clean" look. Heck, I only used a circular saw for an hour to completely reclaim my shop floor - that I had spent most of a weekend cleaning up. I can't wait to graduate to my own first table saw.

It's a gift really....I'm a natural born analyst!:gar-La;:gar-La;

 

[RandyJ]

You ROCK, Matt! That saw should make huge piles of sawdust to give that shop a "lived-in" look.:gar-La;

 

[Gary K]

Nice! You are going to love it. I have its Craftsman cousin and I could not be happier with it.

 

[Splint Eastwood]

Thanks all for words of encouragement! With the new saw,
I will have to work harder now to keep my shop clean!:gar-Bi. Hmm....maybe a bigger shop Vac!..let's see.:rolf:.

It never ends. Thank goodness too!

Looks great. You will be suprised at the ease of working on the new saw. Now you need to get to work on the new dust collection system that you must have. One thing after another, right. MK

Nice looking saw. does it have the granite top? how does it compare to cast iron.

So far, Im loving it, you are right Mike, it is easy to use. I have dust, just need to build out around saw. Thanks.

Does not have granite top, but my old jet had stamped wings, so cast iron is a big bump up for me. Someday my wishlist will be complete:gar-Bi. Yeah right!
