: Kooool!!

: Now, you just need to accessorize with a new "Wrap"!!
: Makes for a GREAT first project. Oh, and there's a fold down extension on the
: backside to extend the table another 30" out, with corbles to support
: it. Plus it rolls away against the wall and out of the way. Built this one
: for my next door neighbor last year and the only thing I would have added
: was a couple of electrical outlets ( one on each side ) so I..... uh, he
: could use hand power tools on the saw-table-top. But, hey, you can't force
: anyone to do what they don't have a clue about, now can you? It has worked
: out very well so far. I put a formica top on the entire thing and it's
: slicker than snot on a glass door knob... Oh, sorry..... :b

: Same cabinet and drawers on each side..... Will store ALL of his portable
: power tools and hand tools ( when he gets some ).

: You got the next model up from his as he got the sheet metal table
: extensions, but with the table addition, we didn't figure he'd need the
: cast ones.

: Be sure to test all your adjustments ( ie; blade and fence to mitre slots )
: before using as those saws are assembled by the kids at their stores
: usually and are NOT tested for accuracy. Let me know if you want those
: adjustments. I wrote them up here once but that's been about two years ago
: and I can't remember the post they were on. Actually, they have them in
: the manual as I had to do my neighbors just the other day. It's in there!!

: Congrats!!! Wish I had a new one...

: Oh, are they still making them with 220v option ?? Someone told me they
: weren't. If you can get that, it's a big bonus! Also, see if you can find
: some two-belt gang pulleys the size of those on the saw. If you do, don't
: get the cast alluminum ones, but go for some that are Turned alluminum
: with the counter balance for the set screw. They are balanced and cut down
: on any vibration. Check with a saw shop ( sharpening ) or machine shop.
: Two belts will really help keep it from slipping and bogging down the
: blade when cutting thicker materials.

: Their new fence is 100 times better than any of their past models. I would
: love to adapt one to my saw.

: Enjoy!! :D

Hey Red,

Thats very nice. Should keep that saw cozy and warm.
