John, thanks, and Xmas is coming right? Why is the size of the miter gauge slots important?
Are there other tools or gauges that don't fit because of this? Thanks.

It weighs about 40 pounds. The only thing I don't like about it is that the slots for the miter gauge are under sized slots, 5/16 by 5/8. The miter gauge is a good gauge with positive stops, 9 of them. earlier, William Stephan, wrote: >John, I didn't know anything like that existed. >What does something like that cost, and how heavy is it if you know? > >Thanks! > >Bill Stephan >Kansas City, MO >(816)803-2469 >William Stephan > >-----Original Message----- >From: "John Schwery"<<mailto:jschwery%40runbox.com>[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: 11/2/07 9:47:18 AM >To: >"<mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com>blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com"<<mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com>blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> >Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Circular or table > >I can move my table saw up and down because it is a job site saw with >fold and roll design.
