Since shop space is tight, thought about trimming Bies fence from 42 to 30-inches so the table saw can be placed against the wall when not in use. Checked out the Shark Guard and it will fit in blade cutout area, so I can also remove the external splitter behind the TS, a Griz 1023.
Got lucky and while back and picked up a Biesmeyer fence which included an extension wing, the fence and short rails. Figured I could use the wing with the Benchdog cast iron top to make a nice router table, and the fence as fodder for this mod. Don't know what to do with the rails yet; perhaps use to make the router cabinet.
What am I overlooking which might make chopping the Bies fence a bad move? Still have the 42-inch ShopFox fence if needed.
