OK, guys, I just was "donated" a 10" Craftsman electronic table saw (113.290650) in pristine shape, sans the motor. I was thinking of using it as a run off table for my Craftsman saw, since they were the same height, had the matching grooves, etc. But when I got it home, I was mesmerized with the electronic blade setting feature. Cool. Just press a few buttons and it sets the elevation and bevel via servo motor. Anyone had any experience on them, ie how to calibrate, etc?

Too fansy for me there chandler.....too much stuff to break, but curious to see how it functions. How accurate is it?

Surprisingly accurate. I have to get instruction on calibrating it, however. There is a calibrate button, but I don't know what it does. From zero to 2" it is right on. When you get down to 1/2" or less it is a little off. But there is a "jog" switch for up and down, so you can adjust it anytime.
I took my motor off my old one and put it on this one. It purrs.
But I get your drift on the "too much" thing. I am keeping my old manual one "just in case".
