I like the sawhelper as well, especially the rails! Thats what I want, something that I can duplicate lengths of trim.

Any idea of the cost of those rails? Any suggestions on other brands?

I have the Saw Helper, it breaks down to 6 easily manageable pcs. As far as I know you can't get the rails from anywhere else. There are many similar ones that are home made from birch ply and T-tracks that I have seen and look pretty good. I'll look for plans when I get a chance, it may have been on Gary Katz's site or on Shop Notes.

I have no desire to pickup and carry a 12" SCMS with table around my sites. It has to have wheels.

I'm too old for that.

yea a accurate stop is key when trying to pre fab trim..i need that too

I'm not very old yet, but also hate carrying sh*t around.

Fortunately it should only be during the loading/unloading stage.

that ryobi stand looks very similar to the delta i have. it seems they now longer make mine. i paid $69 for it 2 years ago. i almost bought two b/c i just usually leave it on site... no one steals delta the thing i like about mine that i can't tell if ryobi has is mine has rollers on one of the supports so feeding into the saw is very easy.

Dewalt DW723 Work Table

Underside and crown jig

i like it the only thing i think i would do which its hard to tell if your did was make the sides of your table top the same height of the material supports.



now you need to learn to turn it into a Sal-mft table

For this message the author S. Donato has received gratitude :

The back and sides are low because I also use this for my LS1214 and the back needs to clear the slide.
I just move the supports in for short stuff.
When I break it down I'll post a pic of how I addressed support bracket storage.

mhmmmmm i see

thats nice Steve Sal why did you drill so many holes in yours? to heavy j/k..j/k

The Makita saw in the pictures isn't mine... in the van I keep a fixed head 10" Dewalt that i got from a garage sale for $45 bucks... Accurate and user friendly, yes - but the safest saw set-up on any jobsite.

that's just like my old delta. i have it set dead 90 degrees, and that's about all its good for but only use it on flooring jobs.

I use the Stablemate stands. The one I use are no longer made but the newer ones are similar. They have good extensions and a stop so that you can make repetitive cuts. They are not as pretty as the Dewalt but are more durable.
