Thnaks. I ordered the "kit" for my saw (113.19771). It implies that the
"kit" contains a guard and table. The site said it would take 8-10 weeks to
get here. Since it was some time before 1993 (we moved that year and I never
put it back together) when I last used it, I think I can wait. ;-)

They said "8-10 weeks" when I ordered mine and it showed up 3 days later.
Two very big, heavy boxes.

The issue I have is on the other side of the blade. With a TS my hands are
never on the back side when power is on. I suppose one can do the same with a
RAS, but it's awkward. OTOH, I never stood in the line of fire when using the
RAS. With a TS it's a little more difficult to stand completely aside.

I actually came up with a good idea for a brake on the sliding arm that
would always be engaged and only disengage when the squeeze handle was
pulled. There would be a ratcheting system that would not allow the
blade assembly to move unless the trigger was pulled.
