Default Saw a Saw Stop

I've heard that the "fit and finish" is supposedly excellent. I'd take
exception to that characterization, based on the unit I just inspected.
The paint job was horrible! Lots of debris was trapped under the
glossy black paint covering the fence and rails. Maybe a Saw Stop was
in operation a few feet away from where they paint them? What a
mess! For $3,500 I'd expect better. The table itself looked beefy and
the elevation handle moved smoothly. I liked the overly large shutoff
switch. Integral locking casters in the base--nice touch. The handle on
the fence stuck out more than I'd like. I didn't get a chance to hear
it run. oh, it has a flat belt instead of 3 V belts like the
Uni--that's a plus. What a shame it's so expensive (I'm sure that
comment will trigger arguments about how much is a finger worth). All
in all it looks well built. Now if they can figure out how to apply a
decent paint job.
