Thank you for the kind words. I am just thankful that the effort provides some level of satisfaction.

I am slowly learning Sketchup and what this effort has just taught me is that drawings made to scale can all be brought together (imported into the same file) and they fit. That is what this one was about five files brought together to produce what is seen here.

Well you are good.
I keep trying and practising Sketchup and it does not go well with me.
I am able to do some editing in Final Cut Pro for video/audio productions and I cannot grasp Sketchup very well.
I will keep trying because I am not any better on paper as far as designing something is concerned.
I guess I am too much of a visual and not patient enough to read and learn from tutorials.

[quote="dusty"]Yes, if anyone has altered a standard configuration, my comments would not necessarily apply to that machine. But not with regard to the kerf. My comments (measurements) are relative to the left side of the blade]
Ok, the 'cutline' may vary from a nominal location(that does not mean 'altered from standard'). What I meant to convey was that all those things mentioned will vary the position of the blade relative to the slots.

BTW the trunion pivot location relative to the blade has not been the same for all earlier models.

Just like depth of cut, available angle of tilt, table top height above floor level...all very close to the same.

My thoughts were not worthy of explanation! Enough said.
