The SS table saw is more than adequate if you set it up for large stock.

Impressive for sure, but, not everyone has double sets of aux/floating tables and legs.

The result I assume of using the main table etc. for the sanding station or the drill press. Hmmmm you musta also bought a table/carriage.

Actually, no. All of the extra tables and most of the other needed parts in the pictures above were bought on eBay about 10 years ago. Notice those pictures were taken in my garage and not the current shop. The current shop was built in 2009.

The shorty sanding station was made completely from parts from eBay that I collected over a year or so around 2010/11. I just waited for like new parts at a reasonable price.

The dedicated drill press was assembled the same way except for the head stock and the bench end castings. Those came from the upgrade of my MK V to a MK 7 in 2013.

No, they are still there. See my previous post. Took me about 10 Min. to find them since I didn't remember what SS called them.
