I am in the midst of designing a bench for my SCMS and RAS. I have a Saw Helper Ultra fence setup, along with associated stops and crown attachments that I am considering utilizing. However, I am a little torn between committing my beloved Saw Helper, which IMO is the best mobile setup for the SCMS ever made, to a shop bench. Using the SH fence for bothe the shop bench and being made removeable for mobile use is not attractive to me at this juncture. Since I probably won't be mitering with the RAS, and it will only be used for 90 degree work, I think I can incorporate one leg of the Ultra fence across the RAS as well.
Now, before I do so, I want to check what my alternatives are. I am aware of the Beisimeyer system, which is a fence/stop system on a MDF laminate table. I am also attracted to the Pro-stop, or Digi stop system which either is an excellent DRO fence system, but doesn't include a table.
I would be interested in hearing about other options that are available to me, and if I were to get a DRO system, what kind of benchtop mount would you utilize?
