Re: Hammer cross cut fence coupling set
Here is an alternative. I have a K3 with a 1250 wagon. I only need 45- and 90 degrees for the crosscut fence. Nothing beats an accurately positioned stop. The original crosscut fence stop was replaced

Don't think it's a push at best.? From a total cost perspective it could be a clear winner.? It could also be a clear loser.? Like you said, it depends on the circumstances.? Which,? in this case

Re: Finding a used saw?
