But its fence movement suffers some because of the formica under it. I have tried loosening the lock link to the back clamp so it would self align, but that didn't seem to help.
The Ryobi does not have any miter slots in its top, the sled is the miter gauge. If I should ever burn this on up, I can see a Hitachi 10CF in my future, and then I can make use of all those tricks that need a miter slot. Thanks for the link Brian, its bookmarked. > On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 1:32 PM, BRIAN GLACKIN <[email protected]>wrote: > >> How did you go about mounting it to your rig, Brian? > >> > >> I mounted mine using three pieces of 3/4" MDF > > > > Two had a slot cut to fit the shaft of the spindle.
