I am downsizing into a smaller workshop. I currently have a 3hp cabinet tablesaw and it is takes up too large of a footprint. Has anyone ever cut the fence rails shorter almost flush with the cast iron top to save space? Cutting them flush will reduce the rip capacity greatly to about 12"-14", but I have a festool tracksaw for wider rip cuts. I am trying to avoid downgrading to a jobsite saw, so I though I would post this and see what others think of the idea. Thanks!
