    How Sweet It Is

    I fired up the new DW746 today for the first time. All I did was cut a few 2X4s for the work bench but WOW what a saw. Very quiet compared to my old BT3 and everything works as smooth as silk.
    I'll post more comments after I have really used it.

        Glad you're a happy camper, Dick. I'm afraid to get a bigger saw because as long as I don't use one, I'm a happy camper with my BT3000.

            Congrats Dick, I loved my BT, but I stood in amazement when I first used my PM2000 w/ a forrest blade on it. Enjoy your new toy.

                    Glad you are happy with your new saw. Be safe and make some serious sawdust with that baby!

                        gotta love the feeling you get when using a new tool in the shop for the first (few) time(s),..kinda like "welcome to the family"
                        at least when it arrives undamaged and works 100% LOL... otherwise it may get that redheaded step-child treatent :-D

                          Funny thing about a new tool that works oh so well, you find excuses to use it... I spent a good amount of quality time after work today with my Hitachi KM12VC on its plunge base cutting dovetails in scrap lumber just because I could. (and I wanted to set up the DT templates on some newly cut mounting blocks, now I just need to grab some T track, bolts, knobs, hold downs to complete the dovetailing setup...
