Going to look at a start rite tilt arbor table saw today, can anyone tell me if they are easy to set up etc or not .

Very easy almost nothing to do really
The only thing you are able to do is set the blade to 90 degrees at the lock position
If anything else is out then its a problem to do with the blade relative to the table
Fences are straightforward to adjust
Check the bearings in the arbour but they easy to replace

Earlier in the year there was thread here on the 275 tilt arbour https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/startrite-275-table-saw-setup-instructions-t36646.html The second page has some exploded diagrams. Don't know if that's any use to you?
