    Did you read the reviews on the HF website?

    Often HF reviews are very informative and useful.

    Most of this talk is irrelevant to the topic, which is doing it with Rockler.

    I read through their stuff and it sounds very reasonable, removing more risk than reward IMO.

    A TS is able to support much longer stock than a BS; I don't recollect ever seeing posts on BS outfeed support like there are for TS's.

    +1, and I'm surprised that it's not a more common complaint; you're the first person to mention it that I've seen.

    Granite is indeed close to aluminum in density, which is about 1/3 that of iron/steel.

    Granite tops are heavier because they're thicker and not webbed.

    might be too late, but if the rail in front were low enough you could just rotate it 270 deg and it would hang down out of the way.

    That didn't sound right, as all plastics have a much higher CTE than even high expansion metals like aluminum, though the reinforcement will lower it.

    Bruce, could you give some details?

    Will, can the Ecogate be used w/o gates?
