Did you look into getting the free replacement table and guard?

Didn't know about the new guard and table. I'll look into it but how does a
guard cover the entire blade? I knew about the $100 for the return of the
motor but even though I haven't used the thing in 15 years, it's worth more to
me than the $100. ;-)

Go for it. Mike turned me onto this recall notice too, and I'm glad I followed
up on it. If your saw qualifies, all you gotta do is fill out a form and an
impressive box of goodies shows up on your doorstep. The brand new table board
itself is worth the effort it takes to apply for the recall.
