Hi guys
Yes the swivel base saw is a definite improvement in a lot of areas and obviously grew out of the standard 4x6, as the heads are pretty well identical. Rong Fu said they are looking to redesign the standard saw and I think there's still plenty to improve and still come in at a lower price point than the swivel base.
What I meant by '...tracking independent of squareness...' was something that I believe is still part of your saw Bill, like:
Losing the rear guide roller support setting when adjusting the twist angle of the blade to the vice table (fixable with Rick Sparber's brilliant setscrew through the back of the guide bracket)
Inner side guide roller bearing on an eccentric mount, so that when you adjust the blade-to-guide clearance you lose horizontal squareness (fixable by making it a concentric mount)
The quality control is a big issue only when its absent! It's the reason people pay more for a Grizzly or a Jet when there are usually not many more features on them than an HF.? The casting sand in the oil was a hot topic on the forum about 2005 - 2008 and seems to be under control now, but caused so much grief its definitely one that needs to be on the list of QA hotspots.
Henry's posts show RF are still listening.?
I don't think there is anyone who has not felt the pain of corporate greed.? Still you can do worse than listen to Ray Wylie Hubbard's 'Mother Blues'.? In the last line he says "...the days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, I have really good days" - jv?
