Well i didn't plan ahead with this one... This thing is a beast in a small shop. It's rear fence (not to mention the on/off enclosure) are higher than my table saw, bench, etc...


Anyone else struggle with this when trying to figure out where to put it? The best place i can think of would be against one of my walls, but that's where my bench is and i hate to give that location up. (as the bench would have to become my outfeed table).

p.s. i once posted a thread about trying to remove /move the switch, but with the high fence, i'm stuck even if i did come up with a solution there...

I put my G0490X (same form factor) against the wall that my lumber rack is on. The built in stand allows easy swingout-in when I need to reach the rack. I actually have enough room behind the jointer (http://www.familywoodworking.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=28082&d=1232567803) (due to the fence mechanism) to stash my CMS/MSUV and my shop-vac.
