I will say that I had an extremely pleasant experience this week -- order for three items placed on 1/4, shipped out on 1/7, and should arrive on 1/12. No hassles at all -- and one part is especially needed, as "someone" let my rip fence hit the floor.

Thanks for all of your help -- the drawing is great, Dusty. My rails do look to be a bit off, so this will come in handy....but the floating table tubes are also a bit bent as well. Just more money that SWIMBO will not let me spend.

Ah -- makes sense. Thanks!

I started to rifle through a box of "extras" that came with my 520 recently, and found something I had forgotten about -- this piece of aluminum that looks and feels as if it belongs to a part of the 520 table upgrade. I cannot find anything like it in the catalog or parts from the mothers...

Thank you --- my boneheadedness got in the way of recognizing the different arbor sizes! Appreciate the info

A close up pix of the back side of the quadrant where ii slides on the bar might be enlightening. It is possible that a gorilla has already done his dastardly deed.

OK -- here are 3 pics which might help

Thanks to to both of you. What about the fence angling back so that it is no longer square right to left? In other words, the work piece will cross the outfeed table 1/2-1cm farther back than along the infeed table. That does not affect anything. If you are face jointing a board you don't even need...
