I've got a really nice Makita 12" slider i acuired as part of a trade a few years ago which i have on a Ridgid MSUV. It all works well with the exception of a solution for precision repeated cuts--i have none. In my shop the my DC hood is huge but works. For portable use its heavy and a major mess maker. Luckily I don't use it outside the shop a ton and its easy enough to blow the mess out of my garage with the leaf blower which is more than half my portable use right now.
I was looking today at Fascap's Best Fence system which looks nice but is expensive and would take some work to adapt to the MSUV. It would solve the stop problem, but leave the portable use mess. Not a bad solution for most of my use.
I was also checking out the Kapex which of course has excellent dc in a fairly light, compact package. What I wouldn't spend on the Fastcap fence plus what I could get out of what I have now would put a decent dent in the price but would still require a major investment.
What other non-Kludgey options am I overlooking? I don't want something built into a bench and I don't want to add significant weight. I'm not opposed to switching to a different stand if that makes sense. I want something that won't be a major hassle to tear down to take to the house or somewhere else. Especially if reclibrating the fence is tricky.
