Thanks for the factual review. Those are always the most useful reviews. Rockler always seems to make things as inexpensively as possible to keep the price down. In this case they went with inexpensive proprietary manufacturing but decided to overprice it.
I have to agree with you david, i wanted to say that i loved this unit but i simply cant... It has the build quality of something that should have cost $300-$500, definitley not $1000+
I bought the stand by itself. I never assumed that a paddle switch would come with it. I guess it would be different if you bought a pre-packaged kit that included the lift, dust collector and fence and table top. One thing about Rockler is that they will get you on the price of the accessories. A set of locking casters runs $50 on the Rockler website is just silly. Amazon had them for $25.
I just bought the table. I put it together haphazardly. Who needs directions right? I assumed everything would just square up pretty quick. Not so for me. Took a bit of adjusting. Not a bad table. I'd wait for a coupon or sale.
Thanks for sharing. It's a nice table with some good features but seems way over priced for what you get. For the price you paid you should not have had to deal with any of those issues.

I just screwed those leveling screws into the plastic and it worked.

@@hastingb yeah you've got that right, Menards also has casters for way cheaper

I also had to do several adjustments to get it close to square, did yours come with all of the hardware at least?

I completely agree, it seems that this should be half the price of what i paid for the quality of materials used. Im pretty disappointed in rockler
