No damage, packaging can improve. You may want to get a set of fine. I was surprised because there was no freight charge. The tilt table is a great feature as well. Had to go out and purchase a 30 MM and a 1 1/4 wrench.

Rikon 50-300 Final Thoughts
"Immaculate finish and fit."
I would recommend this unit to anyone. I'd highly recommend this unit. Plenty of power, it's never bogged down. The compromises seem to be mainly on the noise front. The cast iron table is flawless.
