Good evening all,
I have a Dewalt DW746 hybrid saw that I really like. I'm trying to decide between adding the Dewalt sliding table to the saw or making/buying a good crosscut sled.
The sliding table costs $450 and will do everything I want except support the crosscut on the right side of the blade. In addition to the expense, I'm sure it will be a PITA to install for a generally mechanically disinclined person. One other thing - I currently have my router table in the left extension table of the saw - I'll have to do something different if I buy the slider.
A quality sled can be purchased for $250 (anyone seen or bought the new one from Woodhaven?), but it does fewer things than the slider.
Finally, I could make a sled, but by the time I figure my time and quality materials, and the fact that it won't be perfect, I'm not sure I'm going to be saving anything.
Any thoughts? Thanks...... Dave.
