Walter,
I have one of these puppies.
Two suggestions - 1) don't waste your money on the table extensions.
I bought two. One for each side.
The side is okay - big deal.
The right side I've taken apart and readjusted three times so far so the
surface would mate.
I see a fourth time in my near future.
2) Buy a better blade.
I thought of a third suggestion...I tied a small brush onto the saw for
sweeping aways dust.
This also serves as a workbench some of the time.
I'm contemplating rollers since it gets moved evertime I use it but I'm
not sure what this will do to the stability. It moves when I rip as it
is.
Happy Ripping!

I recommend that you do not use the 10" blade that came with this saw.
The motor/gearing are not rugged enough to turn it. Stay with 8" blades
and you will be fine. Trust me on this, I have recently sent over 10 of
these to the dump because of stripped gears or cooked motors...once the
motor goes (if it is out of warranty) its not worth repairing...

One of Normie's first projects on the New Ynakee Workshop this year will be to
show us how to build a nice set of estension tables for small saws. Oughta be
worth a look.
