    That's a neat idea except I cut the rails from 8/4 stock and have already milled to 6/4. Thinking about the method, I have a router jig that would work. If I follow you, I could have milled 4/4...

    Lars,

    Thanks for the feedback. I think I will follow your lead on the dado. That sounds much easier than trying to mortise the wide, long (translated - heavy) rails and will provide a clean...

    I use a window unit in my 20 x 24 detached shop. The key is to insulate the walls, ceiling and rollup doors.

    I pull the unit every two years and clean the coils. I'm in eastern NC.

    How far apart are the top of the "ridges" and how high are they? I mean, are you seeing ridges (tops close together) or waves (tops an inch apart)?

    I've been using the 22-580 for about 4 years. So far no problems. Snipe is minimal. Blade changeout is simple. I like it just fine.

    I have the Incra miter gauge and it does a good job. It's not extreme heavy duty so I don't try to use it where a sled makes more sense (long, heavy boards).

    I have that Delta DC and upgraded to...

    I gotta tell you I'm impressed with your patience on this matter. Two months without the use of a new machine is beyond my own threshold.

    When you say "switch", I'm assuming you mean the motor...

    If I remember right you need a 1 1/4 and 1 1/8 open/box wrench. Not a lot of room to spin.

    The top is a little cumbersome to handle alone.
