I purchased this saw in Reading, MA in 2012. I had never seen one of the special drifting pulley type arrangements so it was very interesting. The saw has the optional cabinet. Interestingly, the 10" blade does not completely drop beneath the table surface even at the lowest setting. This one had some wobble issues in the pulley system and, as a fix, we tapped additional set screws around the diameter of the shaft that the pulley rests on. By adjusting each of the set screws and testing we were able to get it perfect and the wobble is gone. A great saw with a smaller footprint. The saw was discussed on owwm.org here: http://www.owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=124662&p=835151#p835151 and the Model was also discussed here: http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17963&start=0
