Steve,

Thanks for the note and update on this feature of the saw and also you
comment on the dado width issue. I ended up buying the Bosch before
reading your post so I'm now about to look for the spring assembly to
make sure that I don't need the retrofit.

Cheers,
Chris

Bosch
Pros: motor
Cons: no height lock


The original Bosch had a problem with slight drift in height setting
which could cause a problem when cutting dados or rabbets.

They modified the original design to incorperate a spring that keeps
tension on the height adjustment wheel/axis so it doesn't drift during
use. For those with the original design - there are retrofit parts
available. I had them installed on mine by a local service center.
