    How long does that plastic last with the sun beating on it?

    I hate being the guy who doesn't have an answer, but I am not sure. They are still flexible in year two as our veggies grow and the broader leaves from cucumbers and tomatoes seem to shade the box well. Even if we only get a few years out of them, they were cheap enough replace, recycling the old ones. They seem to work pretty well and the rabbits can't get to them....

    Yup, tried that. I now have a fitted adapter & hose for my vac system. Works great for small projects. Longer and wider surfaces? The hose drags me off line a bit. Sometimes it's just easier to sweep the floor afterwards.😁

    I'm not using it every day but I could. It has been that reliable. Just finished cutting up 40+ board feet of White Ash into butcher block strips for a desktop, ripping them with a 60 tooth saw blade for a super clean, ready for glue, cut. It's more stress than you want on a motor, using a trim blade for a rip on 6/4 thick stock, but the saw keeps plowing through. Wish I was sponsored to say stuff like this, but nope. It's doesn't have Sawstop features but I couldn't afford that anyway. Still dig this saw.

    The umbrella was cheap, but any polyester tight weave thin fabric would work... The hoops can even be thin plywood cut out with a jig saw... It does a pretty decent job keeping the dust inside the hood, even without the vacuum running. Hope yours turns out awesome!

    As if they would answer the phone or provide a link on their website that would actually work? Did it. Tried it. Tried the parts website again. Tried other parts suppliers without parts available. Bought a Grizzly. Mechanical screw gear parts should never fail, and I'm not sure I would want a parts replacement given that performance history. Bitter? Me? No. I just spent my money elsewhere.

    @@TheFamilyWoodworker I had bought a nice Delta shop saw in 2010 (model 36-714). Loved it. But the motor eventually crapped out. Warranty never occurred to me, wish I'd have checked. Now I'm seeing horror stories where Delta will warranty for 5 years but you have to physically get the saw to a repair center which could be hundreds or thousands of miles away. I just called Delta's service center to ask. I was in the queue for 10 minutes, then a human answered. The nearest repair place is almost two hours from me. Some people have been lucky enough to get parts mailed directly to them for self-repair.
