Today somebody posted to a thread from 2004. Seeing a new post I responded to it. The person who asked the question is not likely to be searching that thread for an answer more than 2 years later. This thread was inactive and should of stayed that way. It is the nature of this site to have repeat questions, and over time the answers to some of them change. Bosch did not have through the table height adjustment on the 1617 a couple years ago, now they do. The old information is now incorrect. This can only lead to confusion. This is why I support the idea of a shelf life for a thread. Very popular threads are made into "Stickies" that stay at the top of the list. My thread on guide bushing identification is still valid as an example. These should be exempt from locking or archiving.
