Hi Scotty,

I put the Excalibur add-on sliding table on my Unisaw. I've had it for
a long time and have been very happy with it. I have put it through a
lot of use (and some pretty heavy abuse) and it's still accurate and
reliable. In addition to cutting wood, I've used it to cut up aluminum
extrusions for TS-Aligner parts. It's generally not difficult to hold
tolerances of +/-0.005". At one time I used a crosscut sled to do this
but the sliding table is far superior.

Let me know if you have any questions. You can find lots of places
which sell them, do a google search on using the keywords: excalibur,
sliding, table.

I am shopping for a table saw, and have narrowed the choices
down to the Unisaw and a couple others. I really like the
sliding tables, and see that Delta has one too.

I would like some comments about the Delta sliding mitre table
on a Unisaw, as to accuracy, smoothness, solidity, etc...

Also, any comments good or bad as to sliding tables in general,
such as why I should avoid them, or why I would love one would
be welcome. Any experience with other makers' tables, such as
Jet and Grizzly?

Thanks so much,
Scotty
