    The spalted maple looks great, same with the figured legs. Is Watco Danish oil a durable finish for a dining table? I thought most oils didn't offer much resistance to heat / water.

    Myk, it does have a helical head but I didn't mention it in the first post. I'm leaning more towards making the purchase if I can figure out how to move it onto and off of my trailer.

    Poll: saw vise sacrilege?

    So, I have a Grammercy saw vise which I enjoy using and I believe to be a quality tool. It was not cheap and I don't want it to rust away on me as it is bare metal as sold.

    My tablesaw isn't against a wall, its central in my shop. So if I shortened the rails I would gain a walkway that I don't have to squeeze through and possibly more storage space.
