Hi Dave,
I have one and like it. It came out of the box pretty much bang on.
After many many hundred board feet I had to adjust the gib screws to
true up the tables. No big deal. If the current ones come with the blade
setting jig that sets the blades in relation to the cutting head (as
opposed to the outfeed table) just throw that piece away. The GI model
sold by Rona appears to be a cheapened down model. In response to Todd's
comment, I haven't seen a King unit that is finished quite as well.
YMMV. Cheers, JG
