Hi Eric, did you have the puny fence with the ring&pinion gears and tiny teeth?

I never used mine. I built a custom fence similar to the one you can buy for Makita table top saws (it functions as a stand for the saw with an extra table extension, too). With my angle-iron table extensions I can rip 25" to the right of the fence, and 18" to the left. I also added a 2 hp motor. There is a spot for my router in the custom extension so I can use my same fence for shaping with the router.

The tee on the fence is 8" long where it clamps to the rail, so hitting 0* is a good prospect.

Hmm...seems like I'm already into it quite a bit! I like the magnet suggestions. Maybe I should just buy a table saw book like Jim suggested.
