I got it out and set it up and did a couple of test cuts today; double- and triple-checking the surface I don't find any problems, still, so I would hold out some hope that Ax will be able to find you a flat replacement! I did find that the sliding table rail with mine had a bit of a dent in it - probably from one of the other things in the same box knocking into it in transit - but it doesn't affect operation at all, so I'm not that fussed about it.

I'd been holding off on buying a table saw for a long time 'cause I was terrified I'd lose all my fingers or worse, I spent all last night watching Steve Maskery's tablesaw DVDs and wondering where to buy plastic for a big spiffy guard, then I put the saw together and adjusted stuff and managed to cut myself on the damn thing within about fifteen seconds of plugging it in.

(Thankfully just a scratch across the back of the thumb, thanks to the sharp corner on the aluminium rip fence which is too damn close to the fence-locking handle. ;-))
