do the arms lock the wood inplace or do the knobs have to be tightened each time like other brands of jigs.

Once the knobs are set for the thickness of the wood you are using, the arms are used to lock the pieces.

The arms lock the wood in place once you have adjusted the knobs to the correct wood thickness. If you change wood thickness you will have to re-adjust.

The 2 tension knobs, on each side, are set to the the tension you want. Then just pull the arm down and it clamps the wood.If you always use 3/4 thick wood, just unclamp one piece and then clamp another one. The same for both clamps. The knobs dont need adjusting, each time.This thing is actually easier to use than reading the instructions . I like mine, very much.

Yes it will keep them closed because the arms automatically goes into a lock feature onced completely closed, however this is the slowest set of arms invented in history

Once this unit is completely assembled, the knob really should not be able to be removed. It should remained tightened, or the knob wil become too loose, if taken on/off. We have been using the table for various purposes since obtaining it and find it to be very sturdy and versatile, with the drawer and shelving.

There is a nut built into the wood block and you must turn the metal part in until it is tight. Have 2 of them now and both work great.

You have to turn the knob as you cut. Something like tighten, rotate, tighten, rotate.. repeat until the line is cut.

I haven't, but I can see where it could happen if the instructions aren't followed, or if you're not careful. Putting the right amount of tension requires finding the right spot, the right distance from the door for the base. Once I found that spot, it's simple and safe for my (cheap) knob. The bar's mechanism is pretty sturdy, so if you crank on the handle, the doorknob will give before the ratchet mechanism. Just follow the instructions, find the right spot on the floor, and you'll be fine.

Ours does lock. Twist it around until it falls into place. It shouldn't move.

Yes - the top of them has 4 small holes that the feet of another one will fit in to to stop the top one from sliding around. They don't physically lock together, but I just tried our two and they seemed secure when I open a drawer on the top one and let it hang down.

The handle should snap and lock into place. Pressing the blue tab on the wand after inserting handle should lock. If not, it's defective.

No, the turrets do not lock and there are no caps to cover them. However there are definite stops between the clicks and I have never had a problem with the knobs accidentally turning, even when transporting my rifle in its case.

The handles are screwed on to the pot and do periodically come loose. The good news is that the screws are easily tightened. This version of the handle, by the way, is better than the original.

Yes, the hole in the face of the drawer is pre drilled, then a bolt is put through the hole and the knob is screwed onto the end of the bolt. You can use a different knob on the end of the bolt or if it doesn't match the thread pattern you can probably replace the bolt as well as long it fits the predrilled hole in the wood.

No. There are holes in the upper and lower plates. You can put a padlock through these holes to lock the plates together. The knobs themselves have no locking features.

No, it just starts to losen up and has to be tightened time to time. My last knob never had to be tightened but did come apart after months of use. Bruce

They can be tight from corrosion etc. I used a pair of pliers and mine came loose.

I haven't had any problems with the slide. It's smooth for me. There is a knob that is used to lock the saw in a fixed position so I wonder if people had it set too tight causing it to stick. I've been using this saw to remodel my house and it's been a great saw!

I haven't had that problem, althought mine has come apart several times. I push the part into the upper piece and turn it in the direction shown by the arrow on the lower part to lock it. I'd offer the suggestion to firmly seat the parts together and then twist the two pieces in the direction shown by the arrows. That's all I can offer.
