They don't show it in a tablesaw slot but it fits my Unisaw perfectly and I use it...
I have had a V-3000 for about 10 years. It's used in a production situation on a single machine cutting prefinished moldings which produces very fine dust. Runs about 4 hours each day, 5 days per...

Another woodworker thought I was joking. I have found this a great solution for a cut off saw in my shop.

Edge jointing a board
There was a mention about pushing a board thru a jointer with your thumb. This is how I was taught by the old German cabinetmaker that I worked under those many years ago....
Seldom any operating instructions with machines. I try to understand why the machine design is the way it is. The Euroguard on my hammer is adjusted down close to the workpiece and is spring loaded...
Glenn, could you post a few more pictures of you setup, thanks
My shop is on an island in a rain forest near the ocean - no rust
