I have a few questiosn directed at Sawstop PCS owners who have an Incra fence on their Professional Cabinet Saw.
I have a Sawstop PCS configured with the 40" extension table and the mobility kit. I got the extension table initially to install a router. But I have since built a stand alone router table so that is no longer in the plans. I want to replace my Sawstop T Glide fence with an Incra LS TS.
With this conversion, my ripping capacity is reduced. This should not be a concern since I use a tracksaw to breakdown sheet goods anyway.
The Incra fence will only be used to the right of the blade. So I see no advantage in purchasing the longer rails that would span the entire 84" across the front of the saw. I did use the Sawstop rails as the handle for maneuvering the Sawstop on its castors.
Question 1: Should I purchase the longer rails solely to facilitate moving it around the shop, or could I use the left cast iron table wing as a "handle" / gripping surface? I do very little moving of it.
Question 2: If I purchase the 72" rails and mount them flush with the right end of the phenolic extension table, the rails will extend to the left side of the main saw table (at the interface line where the left cast iron wing attaches). The Incra system comes with three mounting clips per rail. This would permit two clips attached to the main cast iron table, and either 1 in the cast iron wing or 1 somehow attached further to the right in the phenolic extension table. I could purchase an additional set of clips to have one in the wing plus one in the extension. How did you attach your rails?
Question 3: if you have the extension table, were you able to use your Sawstop legs, or did you purchase the Incra leg support set?
Question 4: Lastly, I have an option to remove the extension table and just use the cast iron table and wings for support. If the blade is centered in that saw, I have 22" of cast iron on each side, plenty for ripping since the rails would cantilever out past the wings. What's your opinion on this option?
