I made the mobile base and got it rolling around really nice.
I changed the switch to one I can hit with my knee.
Replace the Jet fence with a Mule Accusquare Fence. I did cut it down to 24 1/4 inches, I have never cut anything larger and it helps with a small shop.
Got the zero clearance insert made and in stalled, I sure don't know why they make it so big, right at 15 inches.
Remade my old sled for the new saw.
Got a place for my miter gauge and sled to hang.
Tuned everything up and it is spot on in every way.
I did loose out on the cast iron extensions, the guy decided he didn't want to sell them. But I will keep looking and find an old saw and get some from it. Getting the steel ones set was a real job but I got them flat, its great what you can do with a dead blow hammer.
For me it is a great saw, the motor inside helps with space in the little shop, I can push it back and have more room. It is a little under powered when cutting 8/4 purpleheart but it does it. Coming from a 3/4 hp 8 inch 54 year old Craftsman its a real treat.
