Dear ? You are right that it is nice to have the table level and the saw blade at the angle so as to keep the work from sliding around on the table and wanting to fall to the floor. However, there is another easy way to get a level table if the saw you would prefver doesn't have a stationary table. Tilt the table to the reaured angle, usually not very much anyway, and then put shims under the feet of the saw to raise up the low side of the table until it is now level. This is what I have to do with my ShopSmith and it is really quite easy and effective. I do the same thing when drilling a pinblock - tilt the table and then block up the legs to make the table level. I wouldn't buy any tool that you don't like just for a feature which youcan easily duplicate in a different way. You will just always wish you had spent the extra money to get the tool you wanted. And eventually you probably will spend the extgra money and get the tool later. Only you will wish you had done it years ago! Good luck Ed Hilbert RPT
