Hi Joe!?
I added the Felder mounting rails to my little Laguna 14" saw and have been really happy with the utility they've added to the machine.?
The apron on the cast iron top wasn't tall enough to mount the Felder bars in the intended orientation (fasteners in the lower position). Instead, I just bought some stainless spacers on McMaster Carr (smaller OD than the Felder spacers), which give me the clearance necessary for the Felder tables to hook on the rail without interference from the spacers.?
On my Laguna, the blade exits the table out the side, so I've taken to just leaving out the one fastener to ease swapping blades. The photos above are rather old, and don't reflect the smaller OD spacers and removal of the near-side bolt.?
For the in-feed side, I have the Aigner table extension with the round bar adapter and that works fine with my Laguna Driftmaster fence. The Driftmaster is frankly overkill on my saw, so I have the parts on order from Felder for their band saw fence assembly. Once they arrive I'll add a Felder bar to the in-feed side and likely sell the driftmaster, or reserve it for when I eventually add a larger saw.?
Here's the parts breakdown for the Felder band saw fence assembly:?
