We landed a very large contract today for major renovation on a resort lodge and library addition which is great - next 4-5 months on calendar is all blocked out smile.gif
Getting everything else done that already scheduled will be major PITA tho but it'll work out somehow.
I'll end up doing most of cabinet work here and some loose ends and finish on site requiring one of our 3650's to leave shop indefinetly. Now the so-called gloat I guess.....pulling plug on the 1023 CS on Monday and ordering. I've always somewhat wanted one but never felt I needed one. Now I can say I do - need another saw anyway. Decided to get what I really want and this is it.
Someone here-I hope it was anyway after having spent last 3 hours searching everywhere else to no avail, has this saw w/ 7' rails and had ordered the Shop Fox mobile base(s) for it and was less than satisfied and ordered a different one (HTC?) and also ended up even more disatisfied - not sure what was final one you used. While the need to move often will not be the norm there will be times this needs to be done and it's going to be a very big heavy thing to swing around shop. Want the best I can find and prefer not to have to lift it up to mount more than I have to and not "experiment" :(
My shop floor is concrete and smooth so not problem but does have a slight slope of about 1/48 in event of the flood of the century. No joke - many lost a lot of things in '96. No desire to join them.
As best I remember you had wooden planked flooring similar to a T&G with minor gapping and felt wheels caught on the SF to much - planning to do overlay here with wood in future (feet/back issues) and same issues maybe the case.
I sure hope to hear what one you ended up using and save me some back pain! :D
Thanks for input and advice
