I finally got my PP, double lift and large casters installed. Have only used the table saw, dado, jointer, and below-the-table routing so far, but I have a question:

is it just luck or does the PowerPro stop with the setscrew for changing tools at just the right angle for easy access? It finally dawned on me that was happening on mine every time it stopped.

The large casters should come with automatic brakes! It rolls so easily that I have to hold on to it to keep it in the shop.

Mine does that too, but then my original pre-conversion headstock did as well. Bill Mayo pointed out that the poly-V belt takes a little bit of a 'set' and tends to come back to the same rest position....

Mine often stops in same position but not always. Jim

Jim is right. Today mine managed to stop with the setscrew on the bottom. Just had to run it enough times, but it sure was exciting that they had done this with the digital technology for us users.
