Ken. I don't know what your situation is, but I have a small shop and I am glad I went ahead and bought the dollie for it. It helps a lot. The saw is great. I have had mine about a year and a half and have pushed it real hard and it keeps sawing. I haven't maxed it out yet but will before long.
Great saw!

Rusty Scott

Thanks all. I can't wait for it to arrive.

I did order the mobile base for it as well, so if I need to move it around, that shouldn't be a problem. I too have a small shop. Eventually I'll get the 7' rails & legs kit, and also a outfeed system. I thought about building a table/bench but, I won't have the room for such.

Ken that's great

I forgot to say when you run the saw besure and hook up the vac.hose in the back because it's enclosed you don't want all the saw dust up inside of the saw...plus the Ridge 25 gal. can vac.will work well (that you can get on sale for 49.oo bucks with a 2 1/2" hose) if you don't have the big vac.system...


looking for some snapshots of that 500 lb. tool
