Have one. Looked like the greatest thing since sliced bread but wasn't quite ready to spend the bucks. A "THOW SHALT" from the safety inspector gave me the push I needed, so I bought, installed, & started using. I'm terribly disappointed. Additional dust collection was a bust & the blade is totally hidden from sight. The counter weight is right in your face & you really have to stretch to push cut stock past the blade. I've had three 'incidents' on the tablesaw since I installed it No injuries & I suppose it could be called learning curve. In order to remove cut pieces & offcuts, it is necessary to walk around the saw to reach & move them. So much for production work.
The safety inspector was all pleased with the new installation but personally, if he had that guard & a feather up his a**, we'd both be tickled.
