Default Excalibur 30" is here.

My saw came today, and it seems to be great. I cut some 1/4 birch ply and then switched to a #7 skip tooth and cut a scrap piece of Western Red Cedar.
By using the adjustment at the back, I set up and cut a bit out of the short side about 1 1/2" thick and then the other way, which was 2 1/2'"thick. No problem. it works great. I did not set the saw up properly yet because I need to make a new bench for it. Right now it is just sitting on my table saw and even there it did not vibrate at all.

Default Excalibur 30"

Great looking saw, I'm saving up for a new 21" excalibur. Hopefully by the end of summer will get one. I know your happy I would be too.

Default Excaliber EX21

I received a sale flyer from Woodcraft today. They have the Excaliber EX21 on sale for $749.99 with a free stand and foot switch. If I didn't have Ol' Yellar I'd beat a trail up there and get one!!!

In the last couple of weeks they have dropped the price of the 30" from $1300 or $1400 ( depending on the store) to $999. I wonder if the 21 is going to drop as well in the near future. With the 30" only $150 more, they might see sales of the 21 drop a bit?
