OK I know I am just showing off! Please don't take me wrong here. I am just so proud of my saw if I don't show it to someone I will explode!

I Built My Jet into the table to use as a stacked dado saw. (I hate changing blades!)

The Main saw is a Grizzly G0605X 12" Extreme Series Tablesaw (http://www.grizzlyimports.com/products/12-Extreme-Series-Tablesaw-Single-Phase/G0605X) 5 Horse. WOW what a saw!!!!!!!!!!! I am in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought an Excalibur slider and attached it. The last Mod I will be making is to put my router lift on the right side.

Maybe you guys can appreciate this My wife just don't understand!

Alcohol and machinery - now that's an epiphany, great idea! Kidding aside I like the way you have the two table saws arranged.

South Orange to Corning..... Google Maps......

238 miles...Little over 4 hours.. Darn. I guess your 'cooler' is safe. ;)

Love the setup.

I understand your enthusiasm.
Doing my first bandsaw box tonight. SWMBO is having a 'crop'. I've been in 3 times showing of the results. Like they even care. :)

No, most don't. Mine just asks, "How much."

Nice set up for the saw.

Sweet keg-a-rator. I miss my old college one. During the cold months I have to smoke my cigars in the shop, this would make a great addition to my "man room".

O yea, the saw is nice too:D.

It's nice having bragging rights on "mine is bigger than yours", but doesn't having a 12 inch saw limit your choice of saw blades somewhat?

Hello there,

Why do you have your sliding table installed *so* far away from the blade?

Why didn't you remove the left hand wings and cut your fence down?

You have about 2 feet where the fence from the sliding table is dragging the material across cast iron instead of being on the sliding table.

David, who has installed more than his fair share of Excalibur sliding tables.

Gotta show these pics (just the last one actually) to LOML. Trying to tell her that if I get a big enough keg it can serve as part of a geothermal heat pump system for whole house cooling...err...well that's my belief and I'm sticking to it!

Nice saw too!

You guys can call me a prude if you want, but I think it is a crazy bad idea to have beer in a shop. Accidents can happen even when your faculties are at their sharpest.

Nice setup - the saw *and* the kegerator :)

Not sure I'd want to go head to head with Norm, no matter HOW nice my saw was... ;)

Charlie,

Nice saw setup!

Now, to completely change the subject... Do you like pizza and do you ever go to Aniellos (sp?)? :D I'm about 30 miles south of you and we never pass through Corning without stopping for the best pizza around. :rolleyes:

I moved the slider back far enough so I could cross cut plywood from the front.
I keep it waxed enough the I feel NO drag on the cast, Besides the Moter sticks out pretty far. I didnt want to cut the fence off a 2000 dollar saw to add a slider that I paid 225 for. It works great the way it is. I dont understand why anyone would give up smooth surface to add a slider when the slider fence adgusts to the surface. I have made many crosscuts on this saw already and it works perfectly.

read the earlier post. I don't drink during work hours. I have a beer or two AFTER hours. I may wax the tools or clean up with a beer in hand but the main breaker is off by then.

I am old enough to respect tools. Can you say no to a drink when its Inappropriate? I can. The keg is in the shop because of space. Not because I drink all day. Lighten up! I have paid my dues! If I want to drink in my shop after the power is off to the tools I have that right!

I find that hard to believe! :) The best part about their pizza is that it is always made the same. They make it great everytime.

I'll do that! :D
