I had a good feeling about this as soon as I opened the box. It is impeccably packaged in dense foam to ensure safe transit. The parts have a heft that tells you they aren't cheap and will stand up to wear and tear. Heck, I even like the look of it.Note: the blue knob some folks reported not getting is buried in the bottom of the foam. I thought mine was missing too, but I poked around and eventually found. Mine did not, however, come with instructions. But that wasn't too big of a deal. There aren't that many parts, so it was rather self-explanatory. The only once that confused me was a hex bolt+nut combo. The hex bolt passes through the underside of the miter bar, and the nut goes on top near the gauge.
