    2. The saw table has a miter slot, but it is less than 1/8&quot; deep. Is this really for a miter gage? Sure seems strange. Do they make a miter gage for this saw? In any case I just want to make a sled...

    I have the NRA 500 and I really like everything except for the shallow crosscut miter slot. I&#39;ve misplaced the crosscut miter that came with the saw since the move, but it really didn&#39;t work all that...

  8. Anyone adapted a Makita BO5041K sander to a vac?

    I've been searching for a couple of days on this. The vac outlet on the tool is about 7/8" or 22mm od. I was hoping to find an adapter to use my Bosch vac hose (~27mm id / ~35mm od) but no luck. ...

    I second the fly cutter. I'd first cut a 2" circle from plywood so that it will just fit the existing hole. That will locate the center. Then use the fly cutter again to cut the larger hole. I'd...
