    What are these rails??

    Picked up a whole shop full of tools. Do these look like they go with a big jet table saw or a miter saw station or radial arm??

    Any input would be appreciated.

    They look like for fence extensions for a miter saw.

    First thought was clamping cauls, but they're not even the same length.

In this case, the frequency response of the loudspeaker seems to play only a minor part in forming a person's opinion.

    I do have a piece that looks functionally similar to that stop.

    I once looked at the Bies tables for my MS bench. But I felt they were too expensive and then changed my plans.

    Price depended on table length. Apparently these are not available anymore but I found a link that still has a price for the 8' table.
