...Major Snippage Occurred...

With TopCote on my old Craftsman you
could toss a small piece of oak to the TS top from 2 feet away and the
piece would slide off the back side of the table. With these polished
top saws I have not seen anything come close to the slipperiness as the
old Craftsman top.



Alleluia! Now I can finally stop trying to shine up my old Craftsman TS top. It's dull, grey, milled surface is working just fine. I just always thought it was supposed to *look* better. Thanks!

No kidding, if your Craftsman is an iron top one, those ugly mill marks
are a blessing in disguise. I wish my SawStop and old Jet has those
same grind marks..
