Spend some quality time and read the manual from cover to cover. Learn all of the terms that SS uses for the various parts of the machine. It makes following the instructions a lot easier. The proper saw arbor and the table positioning ring on one of the bottom bench tubes will index the saw table at the proper position so that the blade comes up through the middle of the table. Take your time and review the woodworking course that SS publishes.
Let us all know how you make out and welcome to the family!!

I think you will learn a lot and spend a lot of money (or at least grow the want-list) if you spend some time browsing through the on-line catalog.

Bill,

Prior to yesterday, I was working exclusively with a 10ER, so the features you describe weren't there. I do take your point about reading the manual, however. Also, I now have a Mark V in the family, so I will indeed learn about the features you describe. Thanks!

v/r,

Rick
