IIRC you have a PM 2000 TS. If so, does your saw have the arbor lock

Yes. Single wrench. It has a tab on the left side that you slide
into a
groove which locks the arbor.


I am looking to get a saw with a riving

knife and am looking at the 2000 and the SawStop.



Do you have any problems with tightening with a dado set?

I use a Freud dial-a-dado with no major problems. I usually make the
teeth contact slightly on the opposite side. As I tighten the wrench
the
outside blade will spin slightly away from where I made them contact
originally. Seems to work ok. I hope that made sense.




My current saw, a Jet cabinet saw uses two wrenches. Oddly when

tightening if I tighten the right wrench the right side of the stack

will some times spin a bit causing the carbide teeth to come in
contact

with each other, Forrest Dado King. To prevent this I turn the
wrench

on the left side and the situation corrects itself. Odd. I am

concerned that with an arbor lock I might have a bit more trouble

keeping the blades teeth spaced properly.



And or can you still use 2 wrenches.



Thanks

Thank you!

Ok Leon, let me spend your money for you...
Festool... tools
Saw Stop... compliments them in quality and price.
It's simple...
Now if you don't want the saw stop... you can always send it my way.
I'll take the 3hp pro.
And thanks.


The SawStop is pulling ahead in the hunt, specifically I think the one
you mentioned.
Wanna buy a Jet JTAS left tilt with 50" rip capacity, mobile base, and
out feed roller?




No like you I covet the SawStop.
