I received mine 2-3 weeks ago. It¡¯s a great unit overall. My only issue with it was the mitre gauge had a slight bow in it and is super over engineered and kind of a pain to set up.

More information please. RUWI are not readily available in Australia, as far as I am aware? If you brought it in yourself, does your $1950 include: - taxes? - duty? - freight? $1950 sounds great. Is
