Sawyer,

I looked on our Go-fast and the table moves up and down.  It's not a problem.  When I change it,  it takes only a few seconds.  Stays right were I set it till I saw a different thickness-----usually months.

The WM has a steel track that does not move. The two saw heads move independently up or down with a ratchet.  When changing thickness, which we do not do that often, takes a couple of minutes to get it exact.  We first adjust to where we think it should be according to the guage. We run a slab and check its thickness. We adjust and run again. It might take 2 or 3 adjustments, but we want it to within a few hundreths of the proper thickness because we will be running thousands of pieces.
I am in the pink when sawing cedar.
