treat it like a baby!!! kiss it every nite and tuck it in!!! seriously, these machines are pretty good. keep the table clean and waxed. clean out the dust with a brush and vacuum. if you develope any problems, dont let it build up and become a nightmare. get on here and ask ?s. there are a LOT of these machines being used by scrollers on this site and i have seen quite a few different minor problems and the folks come up with the solution. have fun makin dust!!!

Got it all cleaned up and gave it a try, WOW what a difference, smooth and quiet, makes the 16" look like a baby. Huge table and the blade changing is awsome.
Hope all have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
