Thanks for the response - I was kind of wondering the same, and thought maybe just the 520 upgrade and casters made the most sense in terms of added stability & mobility. I'd be interested to hear what you say after using the PP, and especially after using it in shaper mode (my other reason for ...

I had kickback years ago ripping a long board on a bench top saw - it had a crappy safety guard that I left off. I knew when I was making the cut that I was pushing it, so stayed to the side - cost me a patio door, but I was okay. Lesson learned. With the SS, I'd say I always use the upper guard, wi...

I've been thinking of making the same upgrade in the spring Paul - let me know how it works out for you, and if you think it was worth the money and effort.

Thanks guys, but I'm not following you - are you suggesting aligning the blade out of square to match/be parallel to the fence??

Is it possible there is a stocking issue? Perhaps some items were on hand, and others had to be retrieved from an off-site warehouse.

Now that's pretty impressive - looks like a battleship!

Thanks Al. I'm trying to decide which makes the most sense for me, and to define the limitations on both, so I can hopefully avoid buying both :) For my purposes at this time, I rarely have the need to cut large panels at anything but square, so I struggle with the additional cost of the big sled. M...

Nice modification! Have you ever been concerned that the metal might flex back towards the blade, or is the gauge rigid enough to keep if from wobbling?

Hi, I know this is an older thread, but just wondering what advantages this might have over making a shop built panel sled, and buying the Miterset for angled work? The price of a Miterset would be led than half the cost of an Incra Miter and sled.
