I'll bet it works well, too. bseg


I needed the "good" to go with the "ain't", LJ. Y'all need to spend
about ten or fifteen years writing dialogue every day to have an
appreciation for such things. There's a Chicago Manual of Style
'round here somewheres and a Strunk and White - prolly a copy or two
of Turabian and a moldy copy of Stone and Bell but they ain't much use
in writin' dialogue good.

You're all set up to do crosscuts on a 4x12 panel the hard way,
aren't you? I'll bet a small plane could land on that thing.

Do you also do assembly on the outfeed table? Height?


Yeah - I never built a proper assembly table and would use the outfeed
table for most of that sort of work. The fence on that Unisaw will go
to a little over eight feet and that is a big help in cross cutting
4x8 ply to length for bookcase sides before turning the sheet around
and ripping out the individual pieces. It's a stock Delta item but I
don't see them advertising it much. The height of the outfeed table
can be adjusted with the leg levelers over a range of about three
inches. When I crank them all the way up, the table sits on casters
so that it can roll around the shop as needed.
