My BIL had one of these, but sold it and went back to his stock table for a couple reasons. First, the table must be removed from the saw before you can change the blade, because the blade clearance slot does not line up with the slot in the stock table. Second, the additional table height takes away approximately 1-1/8" from your resaw capacity and moves the lower blade guides that much farther from the table surface, which he found allowed the blade to deflect an unacceptable (to him) amount. Others might not find these to be that much of a problem, though.

Wow! All legit complaints! I am suprised that Mark Duginske was behind the design with all those problems.

In his defense, I can't think of any design for an add-on table that would not have at least a degree of similar problems. Some saws have the blade slot at 180 degrees, others at 270 degrees. Either of these would bisect the t-track in the aux board, and the board couldn't very well be made to accommodate both orientations, anyway. And a table that adds on above the stock table is gonna have to add some thickness, so... Everybody will think differently on this, as individual needs and priorities vary, but I thought it important to think past the table itself before pulling the trigger on this one.
