“On setup, the saw accuracy for alignment was spot on. The instructions for building the stand could be better! The riving knife, although good, does not retract (as in the manual) and is a bit misleading...this is useful for rebates, etc. I did contact the Company about this and was told that the manual had not been updated, however, there will be a rifing knife available next 'quarter' that will allow this...My annoyance..why would you remove a riving knife to replace with another to cut grooves when you should have the ability to lower the existing one? ...you are probably just going to keep it out? :-| Final observation...the dust extraction...why reduce the port to 'vacuum size (1"), when this could be easily kept to the 2"??? FYI I connect a 2" hose to the bottom and a hoover to the guard.”

Mark, There were several items that we wanted for the new saws but they would have delayed the launch, so there's a bunch of accessories coming. Making the riving knife height adjustable independent of the blade height wasn't something we could achieve within the space and accuracy constraints of the design, accuracy and dust extraction quality below the table took precedence. The shorter riving knife is a compromise, but it will be below blade height allowing for partial thru cuts which we hope will cover most use cases. The 90 degree dust port elbow will be available as a spare part with the other parts, zero clearance insert kit, riving knife etc. We have just revised the stand instructions with additional details, they should be on the website for the weekend.

“So far so good. Very impressed with build quality and accuracy of cut. I actually ordered the Rage 5S which was in transit to me when the R255 was announced. The improvements on this model are substantial and so far very impressed. Customer service were very good, cancelling the Rage order and reordering the R255. I think the likes of Dewalt etc should be worried!”

“table saw attatched to the stand was way too big to fit through my doorway.I have to remove all the top components to allow me to drag the whole unit sideways out of the door.there is no chance i can just roll the unit out through a standard door.such a faff and very disapointing.I wouldnt have bought it if i had realised it was so big....”
