So I've come across a few different designs for a better table saw for a crappy job site saw.

I like that this one isn't welded. It allows for some adjustment if it moves over time. The problem is I am not familiar with the peened over pins and I can't seem to find much help online about the process.

However. I also found this, which seems to be much more popular.

However, this one requires welding, which I am not familiar with, nor do I have the tools for it. All I have is soldering equipment. If I have start buying equipment, then it becomes too expensive and I'm putting too much money into a crappy table saw. I was looking at it, but I don't think I can make it where I can use screws and the screws won't interfere with the track.

Has anyone made any modifications to either one to make them easier to make? Thanks.
