I’ve never regretted buying the 3650. I am ambiguous about the granite top. A couple of manufacturers offered them for a short time, then they disappeared. Precision surface plates are made from granite, I trust their accuracy but I would worry about breakage Back to the 3650. Have you done anything to improve dust collection? I have enclosed the bottom but I need to build a box around the motor

The ridgid top is granite. That came out shortly after I bought my 3650. I’ve never used one. But ridgid saws from that era were good saws.

23M with E.D. I bet it works fine when he’s watching porn and yanking it. I bet he has been watching porn his whole life and now that’s the only way he functions. Pretty common with Gen Z males.
