G0690/691 Owners - A Fence Question

[glenn bradley]

I shifted the large tube on my Beisemeyer over one set of holes thereby gaining 10" of rip capacity. Is this possible on the Grizzly fence setup. It seems that it would be even if a little drilling and tapping were required.

A little help ;-)

Yep, it's possible. Moved the rails on my G690 and gained about 7" of rip width. It was a year and a half ago and I had to tap and drill one hole and I think I drilled one through hole but can't remember which one was on the back and which one was on the front. I then replaced the black table extension with a wider laminate covered mdf extension with a router lift. I'm space constrained so this allowed me to get rid of a router table, rip about 37" wide, and keep the saw on a mobile base. Love the saw, btw.
