First initial impression: \"WOW! this is a high-quality item!\" Second impression: \"WOW! this thing is uniquely well-packed!\" (Those who say they are missing the large blue knob.... it's there well buried beneath the foam packing hidden - hence the label \"peel-a-boo\" on the packaging) Third impression: \"WOW! the reviews were right! There are no real assembly instructions!\" But I had pre-expected that and simply looked at the pictures from the Amazon listing to decipher what went to what. pretty straight forward. Fourth impression: \"WOW! This is a nice quality item and well-worth it!\" Yes, it is indeed a nice quality item. solid, square, well-built, laser-etched markings, quality components.

The only resolute appears to purchase a left-to-right adhesive measuring tape to adhere to the beautiful laser-etched measurements on the gauge - then adjust the tape prior to sticking it down to line up with the adjustable stop block from the saw blade to allow it to work on the left side of the saw (or even t
