This product was received in perfect condition with free Fed Ex shipping. The instructions are a little vague, but the problem isn't really that they're easy to set up. The cast iron table is approximately 1/8 inch thick and tightly ribbed on the bottom. The plastic housing looks typical; I'll have to check later how well it's holding up. I tested this product with a medium sized spindle on a piece of maple. The 3.5 amp motor effectively removed the stock without hesitation. The engine is surprisingly quiet. The dust extraction is fantastic; I have an old rigid vacuum that picks up all the dust off the table with ease. Revain costs $129.99. It's a very good car. Will update review in about 6 months.
