options.

The basic RazorGage package is typically placed next to a cut-off
saw, but can be just as effective for boring, drilling, haunching,
notching and punching operations.  The carriage has two bearing  
blocks, each with two channels of lubricated, circulating ball
bearings running on a hardened, precision-ground linear rail, the
same bearing design used on CNC machine tools around the world.  
The drive system is designed to withstand a crash to eliminate
inaccuracy and downtime caused by stretched or broken belts--a
characteristic of competitors' saw stops.  Backlash is tightly
controlled with our zero-clearance drive pulley and near zero
backlash planetary gear head.   You have a choice of controllers,
ranging from an Android Tablet PC to a Windows 7 Pro Tablet PC
to a full Tower PC that includes a 17" LCD touchscreen and solid
state PC running Windows XP Pro.  Operation is intuitive and
networking is a snap.  If you don't want to network your saw you
can carry cutlists to your machine via ordinary USB flash drives.
