Hi all,
Like an?amoeba reproducing through cell division, I am in the process of diverging my one shop into two, one for professional work (door, window, and cabinet construction), and one at home for hobby (musical instruments and furniture). The home shop won't have enough room to comfortably fit a full slider, so the KF700 goes to the production shop. But I love crosscutting on the table saw. Also, my kids (9yo and 11yo) are my little apprentices and love to work with me in the shop. So I'm leaning toward buying a Sawstop and the sliding table attachment. I know it's not the same as a Euro slider by any means, but I won't be doing sheet goods, at least not large pieces. It's mostly the crosscutting of small pieces of solid wood that I want to do. Do any of you have experience with this? I know you can bolt it onto the extension wing for larger capacity, but I'm so used to the slider being almost right up against the blade, removing the friction from sliding your parts across the cast iron, so I'd lean toward removing the extension wing and mounting the slider closer to the blade. Any thoughts out there, or am I on the wrong track here?
