Makes sense to do so. As was the insert.

Bearings came today, and I did the 15 minute alignment sequence to get all the bearings aligned properly. It only took me 90 minutes!
Did a few test cuts for the first time with PowerPro, and all was well.
Still to do is align the table 90 degree stop, and the miter slots to the blade.
Next on my list is refurbing the belt sander.

So I discovered, as expected, that my tension window quickly "fogs up" with sawdust inside the cover. However, I was able to verify my suspicion that a quick blast of compressed air in the Allen wrench hole cleared the window completely.

I wonder if a wipe with an anti-static dryer sheet might keep the sawdust from building up on the window.

Good idea.
