Thanks for the responses. I understand that JET has a new sliding attachment out, and that's the one we're talking about...but haven't seen yet.

The Festool sounds like a good idea, but if I still have to take the time to draw the cut line and put a guide down, I may as well do it the way I'm doing it now. I'm sure the cut's not as clean with the Ryobi saw and Freud blade, but it's served us well for many, many tables.

A sliding table may not be the answer for cutting off tabletops. While that would be a wonderful thing to do with it, there's still plenty of reason we 'need' one...if you ever really 'need' something you've done without for several years...
