This is officially my first table saw. Just got the Porter Cable pcb270ts from Lowes. Read the reviews and checked it out in the store and it seems like a good solid table saw. But i could use any advice on putting it together and setting it up properly.

I have the same Design Hitachi C10FL I chose to leave the Dust hood off under the saw. Good Luck !! -- Pat - Worker of Wood, Collector of Tools, Father of one

Always use push sticks of some type, never get in a hurry, get a good quality blade, push the wood all the way through on the cut. Just watch the video on safety. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxUVTtdTne4 Tuning your saw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSrZspi7XzQ&feature=relmfu Kevin -- Williamsburg, KY
