Sounds great!! Definitely post up some pics soon. Yeah cast iron is softer... Maybe some tapping oil would help with the steel?

The bigger part folds down, and it's on wheels now, so I can move it around (see below). The notch is there for the original guard/splitter which mounted out the back also like most saws. Now its just a place to sweep extra dust or scraps...
nice outfill table, what is the notch for behind the kerf splitter? i have some ideas for an outfill table on my saw but due to the motor being behind there are issues.
did you build that top collector/guard? i need that! i've seen plans for them and they seem doable. the lower dust port does work but i still get chips shot at me off the top.
i hooked the trash can up to the saw today (first time) and cut the heck out of a 2x4 to make some dust and it is all in the trash can except what shot forwards out the guard.
