    Initially I will be making the top from MDF with a melamine surface and trying to match the thickness of the original top. I want the top to be removable so that if I decide to lash out the big bucks and get a cast Iron top made I can just remove the MDF version and retro fit the cast one without having to modify the cabinet. The Mitre & "T" slots will be Aluminium Extrusions from Carbatec. I am a fair way off building this mind you,...so the design may change before I get it done.

    I used high quality form ply to extend the top on my table saw, using a router to remove the finish on the edges and under neath to facilitate the gluing of ribs etc. screwed through the top a then filled the countersinks with PlastiBond
    it is very solid has been about 5 years

    A quick search on Trove reveals McPhersons ads including the optional side table.

    Thanks hiroller.....the McPhersons Catalogue shows the 8” saw with the tables but it’s interesting to see in the add that the tables were optional.... I am yet to find something to show the side tables on the 12” saw....it’s obvious that the side tables were an option throuout their production though

    Here are a few pics of ads from the 50s.
    I think the ads were aimed at the home market so the smallest/cheapest are shown.

    "Nothing you can give a man for Christmas will be more fully appreciated than this Hyco Junior Saw bench".

    True then, and still true 70 years later.

    Have a happy Hyco holiday season everyone!

    Graham.
