Sliding table attachments for cabinet saw

**thebicyclist** · 8th February 2016, 06:03 PM

Hello All;

Work life balance has returned so I'm getting back into woodworking and I am going to buy a Harvey table saw.

The work station version with the router plate and the sliding table is attracting me and I am wondering what peoples opinions are on this type of sliding table attachment?

I think it might be a good substitute for a SCMS and having one piece of machinery would be great with the shape of the space I have for a workshop

Any advice or opinions would be welcomed?

Thanks

Joel

I have a very basic sliding wing for my saw that I used for a while then took it off when I found I could do better with a sled. It is not as good looking as that one however. I dont have a SCMS as space is limited and most crosscuts are done on the tablesaw. I find long heavy timber hard to crosscut on the tablesaw. Even when I used the sliding wing so I built a crosscut jig for the hand held circular saw to use on those odd ocasions.

PS a router wing is worth having where space is in short supply.

That type of sliding table is a compromise as are most domestic variations, it does not replace SCMS although if you don't have the space for both it would be a good compromise

Thanks.

I'll probably just go for the router table version in that case
