|  BoBD and Hawk G4 Review Bob: Last December, you mentioned that you were in the process of reviewing the G4. Does this mean you'll be writing about it in the magazine? If so, when might we expect to see it? Jeff |

| Probably in the Fall issue...I want to give it a thorough test. But don't hold me to it! Bob

| Sure! I'm home because of the snow today...I'll finish it up tonight and post it tomorrow <GRIN> I did most of the Christmas presents I made this year with the G4. I love it, since I do a lot of fretwork and like to top feed. I've used the Shopsmith, EX30, G4, and the hegner Variable speed extensively...and so far the G4 is my favorite. But I really want to spend some time with the EX21. Bob

| Remember in the video I think it was, they say you can stand on the arm and then turn it on and the torque in the motor will not stall? I'll be expecting a report on that claim!

| BobD, I would be interested in your take on the EX21. Just read a review in a woodworking magazine on the EX21, Hegner 18v, G4, and PSWood. They rated EX21 as best of the top four followed by the Hegner 18v. My Hegner is working great for me thus far. However, I am becoming more and more interested in the EX21 for its frame tilt, top feeding, tool-less blade change, deeper throat, larger table and almost vibration free design. Would be nice to just be able to afford a second saw!! Just dreaming.

| Rolf - Sent you PM. I thought it was an interesting review. Coming from someone who has no seemingly invested interest in any particular machine. And I don't believe he is a scroller. So it will be interesting to see BobD's report as he is a scroller and knows what the pros and cons are of a good, better, best unit.

| Every so often my G4 won't turn on, then I have to kick start it...that seems to work.
