I watched a disturbing video on you tube from Australia of a guy with an Excalibur 21. He said overall it was a good machine but had several design faults. I don't know if I will explain this right but if the plate is removed at the back of the saw it will expose the spindle from the motor that is connected to the drive rod. The spindle is steel and the drive rod is aluminium, the guy said he had replaced the drive rod three times as it wears out very quickly because steel and aluminium do not go together. The other problem was the blade clamps, he said these were also aluminium and the bolt on the thumb screw were steel and as a result the thread wears out quite quickly and in the video he showed just how loose his were.
Has anyone else found these problems as I am due to buy an Excalibur 21 in two weeks time.
