I'm just assembling one of these. Takes a 30mm blade fine, but also has a long 5/8 Arbour for Dado. Motor now has a brake, and fuse looks to be a standard 13amp. It does not blow when fired up, but I have a dedicated, reasonably short supply to my workshop. Its quiet too, much quieter than my Bosch GTS 10 XC. There is now also an option for cast iron wings, and I nearly ordered them but found they were the cut out/perforated type. Keeps it lighter for moving, but looks like a finger trapper when sliding the fence. Shame, as the only thing I think lets its down a little are the pressed steel wings, which as been said before, not truly flat, but livable with. Not cut with it yet to have a view on dust collection. I have 45 years of engineering and design behind me, and while its no Startrite or Wadkin, it costs less than the bristish sold, chinese built ones, and it ticks more boxes from my point of view.
