I have a Bosch 4000. I purchased it from a friend about 4 years ago. The saw was relatively new. It didn't come with the gravity stand. I'd like to buy the stand at some point, but right now, I made my own stand at a height that is comfortable for me to work at. For me, this saw works excellent. My shop is in the basement and access isn't the greatest. As with all of us wood workers, space constraints are a killer especially when trying to cut full sheet goods. I read an article in Fine Homebuilding, Fine Woodworking's sister publication, which explained how a millwork contractor set up a site shop. He set up simple modular side and end tables around the table saw. I adopted this principal for my shop in the basement and I've had excellent results. I agree with a later comment about how you "work around the tools shortcomings". I would love to replace the fence. I was trained on a Delta cabinet saw. I agree, there is no comparison between the two. For what I produce in my little shop, my Bosch is just fine. I love the machine and I intend to use it for years to come. One of the best purchases I ever made!
