Title: Riser block problem still not fixed - 2009
Review: I got my Powermatic saw today and started to set it up. I thought I'd install the riser at the same time since I already had all of my tools out. The riser I got is out of square; not only does it cause the wheels to be misaligned in the vertical plane, but the top and bottom surfaces of the riser block are not even parallel. When installed, the top of the saw leans back enough to be obvious. putting a straight-edge across the face of the top wheel shows that the bottom wheel is set back a half inch at the top and three quarters at the bottom, so re-drilling guide holes wont even cure it; one of the horizontal faces would need re-milled. Nice Q.C. there, guys. Hopefully, I can get a good one cross shipped without a lot of blather about how co-planarity(sp?) is overrated. I'll let you know how this tragicomedy ends.
Is the review positive or negative?
