Thanks James, and thank you for the numbers on the scoring motor as well.? I'm still not sure how much cross cutting I'm going to do on this machine, other than panels.? I get spot on repeatable cross cuts with my collection well tuned vintage DeWalt radial saws.? The only problem is that slicing up a 4x8 sheet on them sucks.? With the right blade (negative hook) and adjustments you can safely rip, but it's awkward and the dust collection is abysmal.? My primary focus for this machine will be sheet goods, ripping (though I do a lot of that on my bandsaw), and shaping. That said, the DROs may still be very useful for setting up for sheet goods.
I assume that the DRO will happily switch between standard and metric?? I plan on going with a metric machine.? (I have largely switched to metric in my woodworking.)
