My first saw was (is? I still have it) the Ridgid 3612. I quickly moved the rails to the right. When Lowe's was blowing out the Biese 36" fence and rails, I got one and immediately moved it all the way to the right. I think I get about 49" with that set up. When I got the new Grizzly G0691 last January, I started out with the 50" fence in the standard set up. This summer, I moved the rails to the right. I have about 69" capacity now and I love it! My shop is 20 X 24, so 480 sq ft. My saw is set with the width on the 20' wall. I have a good 28" around the saw with a BS and RT on one wall to the right of the saw, and a 24" deep counter on the left side of the saw. Works fine. Jim.

No, I'm not an electrician. Any information I share is purely what I would do myself. If in doubt, hire an electrician!
