Has nice features.
I dig the quicker adjust versus the binding up when sliding over one of the feet on my GRRipper. Loss of full blade coverage (safety) is certainly lacking, but blade visibility is also a safety feature.
Alas, my GRRipper's handle doesn't allow for the angling of the handle so seeing that the wood is flush to the fence is good as well as being able to see that the blade isn't too high which has almost turned my GRRipper into a pair of grippers on several occasions.
I realize I also have one of those hats provided when I bought the $99 5" ROS sanderĀ when introduced. Still new-in-bag/unsullied (worth much more as a collectable, like a 70's troll doll or pet rock)
