I have a factory sliding table on my jet supersaw. Its an expensive option.
I love it. However, I would definitely hesitate recommending anyone trying
to retrofit something like this to a saw. A good sliding table is heavy and
needs to get close to blade to really be optimum. Jet is proud of their
"only 4 inches from the blade" table. It works extraordinarily well because
it weighs so much. I'm still amazed at how well it works when I clamp a
piece 6 feet long to it and just slide it through without a waver. However,
its a compromise design. The right way to do it is European style - right
next to the blade and long table. Now we're talking some big bucks.

If I had it to do over, I'd save the money on the sliding table option and
build a really nice cross cut sled. Then I'd save up for my dream $4000
table saw.

A few questions regarding miter gauges for my Table Saw.
Incra has a V27 that is reasonably priced miter gauge for about $60 but it
only stops every 5 degrees and at 22.5. It is sufficient, or do I need to
spend 2 or 3 times this price for a better miter gauge?
Someone suggested that I keep the lousy TS supplied miter gauge and build
a
sliding table.

Need some wreck opinions please.
