Bob and Ralph, > Thanks very much for your opinions. From what you?ve said and what I?ve read, these saws benefit greatly from additional stiffening and from replacing the sheet metal table with a

Hi Jeff, All the saws seem to come from the same china factory. There are some motor size differences, big 3/4 hp or smaller, 2 frames also, one with cast arms, and one with stamped steel arms
