The DeWalt saw is considered a contractor saw, not a production saw. However it should last longer than yours did. My first DeWalt lasted about ten years with only having to replace blade clamps and thumb screws. I'm on my second DeWalt saw and I have a backup just in case my primary saw breaks down. When it was time to replace my first DeWalt saw, I also considered the EX 21. I didn't like the smaller table on the EX and I didn't like the coating on the table either. And since I was used to cutting on the DeWalt, I bought the DeWalt knowing its limitations and shortcomings. I have never used a Hawk. I would never consider buying a saw without being able to try it out. The new Jet saw is not top feed friendly so that one is out. So when it's time for a new saw, I will probably go with another DeWalt saw.

I looked at the picture before your text and said "that is not a sanding mop"!

The smaller the bit the faster the speed needed. For the wire size bits and up 1/8" I use the fastest my drill press will go...3100 rpm.

Another beautiful project Rob!

Nicely done Jerry!

Nice work Dave! On hard puzzles, I provide a copy of the pattern so the customer can use it to assemble the puzzle. On easier puzzles I tell the customer to take a picture before they take it apart.

Looks great Rob! I cut two in Cherry this past weekend. I'll post a pick after I get a top coat on them.

Thanks for the review Brian. I do all different kinds of projects from puzzles to fret work. Doing fret work, it is important to have a saw that is top feed friendly, and the new Jet saw defiantly is not top feed friendly. It's good to hear your Woodcraft store is as accommodating as the Woodcraft store I teach at.
