Yes, I get plenty of sleep. It is not when many others get their sleep but I get 6-7 hours nightly. I go to sleep about as fast as my head hits the pillow and sleep sound until the first call to nature.

I grew up in an agricultural environment and as such am an early riser. About 4:00 am is my typical. I enjoy the very early morning as I sit out on the patio with my first two cups and listen to the world come alive.

In case original poster or anyone else is looking for a used one, saw this on ebay:

Hi all,
Just thought a photo might be helpful. This is my SS 520 with the p/n 515306 cover in place. In the photo the main table is raised to be even with the top of the saw blade. The extension table is mounted to the right end and has the rip fence mounted and locked in place. My SS utility light is mounted to the headstock and the goose neck bent down to the left of the headstock. The cover extends down to about even with the utility shelf across the front. As previously mentioned you need to be aware of the corners of the tables especially the 520 rails to prevent possible damage to you or your equipment.

Dennis

Thanks all!
