My existing panel cutting jig is 3/4" farther away from the blade on my new table saw since the miter slot is farther from the blade. Can I use as is or do I need to take it apart and move everything closer? Brian

I would adjust it and cut a new edge. If you are able to pry off the runner, and your back fence can still be adjusted, it's not too bad of a job to do. I did it last year with my crosscut sled so, two runners to replace and the back fence had to be re-squared. I also scraped and filled the holes where the old runners were removed.
If you don't need zero clearance, then don't move it. If you do, move it or glue on an extension and recut.
New saw - new jig.

I broke down, removed the fence and miter guide, turned it 180 degrees, installed new t-nuts, fence and miter guide. Good to go. Like an old pair of jeans, used, but my wear and tear. Brian
