The gears, notice the curved surface of the tilt rack to fit with the
worm gear

Inside the left side of the saw door opening, lots more iron.

A reference for just how big those gears are. The worm gear is
approximately 1-1/2" in diameter.

I got the industrial model and it weighs in at about 685 lbs with the 52
inch fence. Add 25lbs or so for the mobile base.

The mobile base is sweeeeeet. 3 pumps on the right front pedal and the
saw is lifted up and all weight is transferred to the 4 corner wheels.
tap the "lower" lever and the saw floats to rest on the floor releasing
all weight from the wheels. This saw being about 200lbs heavier than my
old Jet cabinet saw is much easier to move than the Jet 3 wheel mobile
base and I thought that base was great. The new saw will almost roll
out of the garage on its own when lifted up on the wheels.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Wow this thing is really
well built with great attention to details. No sharp edges found yet.

Ill keep you posted as the saw and out feed comes together.

Setting a new machine up is half the fun. Hope you get many hours and
years of enjoyment in using it.

Well it is fun but crawling around on the floor is starting to get old. ;~)
Thank you.
