I got a chance to look at this system and the table looks very well built. The fence is way more<br/>
narrower than the old one. I think I like this better. The left lock down they switched from a knob to<br/>
a lever. The one on display didn't seem liked it worked as good as the knob. It could have been just the<br/>
Way it was setup. I couldn't tell at that point. The one thing I'm very disappointed in is the change<br/>
From the micro adjuster to a cheap plastic disk. You have to turn the disk to the depth you want to change<br/>
the fence by then slide the fence to the disk. It might be fine for those who use micrometers to<br/>
determine that they need to move the fence by .002 inches then turn the knob to that setting, then<br/>
release the fence slid it to the plastic disk and make sure the disk doesn't move (it sits loosely on the<br/>
shaft so it could move on you), then lock the fence down again. I'm a basic woodworker who finds it<br/>
much easier to loosen the fence turn the micro adjuster then tighten the fence and try again. Also my eyes are aging and trying to see the numbers on the disk that is on the side of the table that is facing away from you would be difficult for me. Younger woodworkers may find this a none issue. The<br/>
sales rep and I spent about 10 minutes trying to see if a micro adjuster can be added to the new fence.<br/>
We determined that it won't work. I feel Kreg cheapened the fence by doing away with the micro adjuster.<br/>
I almost bought the old fence but decided to wait to look at the new fence, I'm sorry that I did. What's<br/>
interesting is the price stayed the same. One would think that by using less material and a cheaper<br/>
micro adjustment disk the price would come down. So I decided on holding back from buying the fence<br/>
until I see if Kreg comes out with a modification that would allow the micro adjuster to be adapted to<br/>
the fence. Other than the micro adjuster, the fence seems to be well made and a promising future. This is like all Kreg product…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2015-04-05:2900167:Comment:7233752015-04-05T19:07:05.411ZGregg Vandenberghttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/GreggVandenberg

<p>I have last years system and I don't see any difference to the pictures via the link. This type of table is not something you use once or twice a year. It's designed for quick set up and heavy use and it works fantastic. I "invested" $500 last year and I know that thing has paid off with the projects I've done for my home. The fence design is terrific.</p>
