OK, Leon. So the saw will be in San Antonio on Saturday? Does that mean your happy self with be here, too? Are they shipping it to the local Woodcraft on 281?

On another note, I don't know what "tradesmen" use Kapex out on a jobsite. Believe me, I know many, many carpenters, trimmers, cabinet installers, remodelers, and a few custom cabinet makers. Not one, seriously, with all my contacts of 42 years of doing this work, not one uses a Kapex. Could the guys you saw be some wannabes?

No one is doubting the quality of the tool or the quality of its output.


Actually quite a few people are doubting the quality of the tool. Read
the negative reviews on Amazon--burned out motors seem to be
commonplace.


The speculation as to why this was happening was explained as possibly
not letting the soft start come up to speed before plunge cutting.
