Congradulation on your new saw !
I have met Ray and his wife (she is a sweetheart). They are very friendly . Bought my saw from Ray had no problems with it . I know some people that have called him with problems and he talked them though it in simple terms .If you happen to see Ray and his wife at a show stop bye and say Hi! No! he is not going to try and pressure you into buying a saw but you could try it out for yourslef.
