I got a set of rails on ebay. Didn't come with connector plates but I used some T-nuts and aluminum angle and mounted them along with some legs. (The legs are attached to a plate with a wheel so I can move the whole saw). Picture 1 shows legs Picture 2 shows angle bracket.
Then I mounted a sticky tape so I could measure cuts longer than 24 inches. Picture 3.
The fence slides smoothly over the joint where the legs connect. However when I lock the fence the measurement from fence to saw blade is off - but only on the new legs. The old legs (up to 24 inches) measure exactly. Picture 4 shows the fence set at 28 inches and Picture 5 shows the fence to blade measurement at 28 and 1/8.
Any thoughts on what I might do differently?
