I got it from a place called Acme Electric in Fargo, North Dakota.  By now you probably know I took it back and bought a Delta.

Do you like the Delta better than the EX21?, what model Delta did you get?

Keefie, nice buy. You can adjust the front to back movement by turning the motor. Just check Steve's videos, he explains it quite well.

Thanks Torsten, I checked the video's out and did that, it cut it down by half, but going any further turning the motor and it starts to increase it again, so I got to find the happy medium. The only time i notice any trouble with it is doing a tight turn, then it will bounce if you dont hold the work very firmly. With a little time and trial and error I'm sure I'll sort it, either way it's a fantastic machine to use, it's quiet and vibration free except on full speed but thats my worktop vibrating (I dont have room for a seperate stand for it) so far I have only needed to use it on about 3/4 speed as it cuts fine at that speed. I'll let you know when I sort the blade movement problem.
It's all a case of "Mind over Matter",  The Government don't Mind, and I don't Matter.

My Delta Model is 40-690.
I found the Ex-21 I tried very difficult to load the blade into the bottom. Lifting the arm did not bring the bottom clamp up like it does in the DeWalt and Delta.  I have a bad right hand so need to feed the blade down from the top, peek through the hole and use a special tool I built to tighten the thumb screw.

Keefie, add weight to the stand. That helps against vibration. The weight should be as near to the saw as possible. I have like 75kg of pave stones in my stand (~160lbs).

Just ordered a EX21 this morning from Seyco $819.99 with stand and foot switch & free shipping.  Can't wait for it to get here.
