Thanks Kev, I've been working crazy hours lately so my shop time is precious to me right now that's probably why I was more upset than I should have been. And for anyone interested the pegas manual is lousy. for instance it says to check the upper arm is parallel to the table but no info on what to do if it isn't, no instructions on how to load blades and of course the clamp thing.You would think a $750 dollar saw would have a better manual, heck my brand new $79 dollar dewalt random orbit sander had a much larger and informative manual than this saw. Anywho that being said the saw cuts very well now and is quiet and practically no vibes what so ever,so all's well that ends well, lol
