Have you tried using a micro adjustment mechanism on your router table fence? This allows me to dial in exactly the width required, even when a rabbet is involved. The combination of a...

Derek/Mike/Jared,
..thanks for the input.

Derek,
Well done; thanks for sharing.
Given the tight tolerances involved in your project did you find the need to make « blocks » to position the location of your mortised on the « Y » axis,...
…and thanks Rod for the precision…:D
Tony,
Nice explanation. Thanks!
Jacques
David,
Interesting thread; thanks for initiating the conversation. I have learned interesting approaches from the input.
In addition to the methods already mentioned, I use a couple of « mini...
Dan,
Here are two files that are extracted from a Felder/Hammer document I found about two years ago. It should help you get a feel for how to address your problem. The document covers many Hammer...
Nice work Jonathan.

Jacques
Pat,
I do not want to be rude but please allow me to ask: what benefit do you expect to gain from using a thin kerf blade?
Your 3hp saw is more than capable of handling full kerf equipment.

Chris:
I went the other way around. I bought the Comfort configuration and added an additional fence + mount and ended up on the same place as you and Rod. Two fences, two flip stops.

Lisa,
One option would be to make a template and use a guide bushing. You can then position the opening in the template where you want the storage area to be located.

Richard,
Good information, thanks. The side bearings are also prone to breakage when dropped on a concrete floor. :(
Salut Derek,
You posed an interesting question. I understand the point that Erik is making about going for bigger if available and I agree with your statement about considering what one intends to...
Erik and Jim,
I completely agree with you and including the shipping costs associated with an « after the fact » purchase, there are even more savings at play, not to mention lead time for such...
Erik,
…it looks like I was writing my comments at the same time as you.
My machine is the Comfort package and I echo the comment regarding the mitre index system.
Jacques
Todd,
A few thoughts for your consideration.
I moved from cabinet saw, 15 inch planer and 8 inch jointer to A3-31 and B3 machines in the fall of 2021. I also own a Jessem router table with...
As mentioned a few times a key factor is the type of work you are or will be doing. While this machine has modest proportions it is nonetheless capable of handling many components for furniture...
John,
I will echo the comments made by Greg and Dan. This is a nice opportunity presented to you and I see no downside for you to go ahead.
Having made the switch to both a slider saw/shaper...
Andrew,
Here are a few photos of the assembly that was installed on my Minimax S400P. I believe the bearing assembly is the same for the 400, 500 and 600 machines but this may need confirmation.

Brian,
Have you noticed any problem when cutting wood after you installed your blade? If so, what did you notice?
If not.. go have fun with your saw and forget about the never ending chase for...
James,
It is hard to tell from the image but the tires do not seem to have the rib on the inside face and it is unclear whether they have a flat surface.
Pricewise, there is not much difference...
Bill,
The Carter guides were :
Micro-Precision 20 for the upper guides and Micro-Precision 30 for the lower guides. They use a combination of thrust bearing and silicon-impregnated rub pads....
Bill,
I have a 2012 version of this saw (by that time identified as S400P) and it is a good machine.
The saw dust diverter is a piece of wood that slides into grooves. Nothing complicated to...
John,
Your raise a very good point. Before switching to a slider, I had installed an aftermarket adjustable splitter/blade guard (SharkGuard) to improve safety on my table saw. It was a « shark...
Brian,
Assuming that you have confirmed that a table saw fits in your woodworking plans and that the budget allows for it, the item that Lee referenced is something you should seriously consider....
