Archived info about the "Bosch PTS 10" table saw that Ed loaned us for two years.

fall 2018 (after approx. one year of use):
- pin holding the cam lever of the parallel fence sometimes came loose - Lukas put an M3 screw with a lock nut through it to keep it in place
- threaded insert to secure the parallel fence in the front became loose, had to be replaced with a T-nut that Sebastian cut to size
- dust extraction hose sometimes came off - Moritz secured it with zip ties so it hopefully won't happen again
March 2019: broken pin in the height adjustment handwheel replaced with a blind rivet pin (Moritz and Lukas)
July 2019: internal cleaning & oiling, blade cleaning, adjustment of the 90° and 45° limit screws (Lars & Lukas)

Two aluminum fences come with the saw and can be mounted as a parallel ("rip") and a miter ("crosscut") fence.

Ed added a foot switch early on as the default power button is hard to reach:

you should power the saw via foot switch and shop vac so that dust extraction starts automatically and everything is easily turned off
