Shop Fox W1740
First Impressions

"All quality made."

All Allen wrenches were provided for assembly. I only had to tighten the brake pedal. It works well but there is a lot of weight riding it. But light cuts worked fine, no problems. I like the longer conveyor on the Shop Fox.

Shop Fox W1740 Final Thoughts

"Mine needed minimal adjustment."

Clean it up during and after usage. Its previous home was in a high school wood shop. It works well but there is a lot of weight riding it. The readout is magnetic and sits just below the hand wheel. These are just my experiences, nothing more.

Overall Score 3.8

(6 Points)
