I am quite new with table saws, but I knew I wanted one, and have been reading as much as I could recently.
With Sears deal, and many useful information on this site, I just couldn't pass this time. (I missed the Bosch portable table saw deal a short while ago.)
So far I like the features of this saw, but have a few questions:
1. I would like to mount a hitachi KM12vc router on the table.
I read LCHIEN's FAQ (Thanks LCHIEN, it is great.) and probably will go with new route plate method since I don't have a press drill. Even I have one, I am afraid to drill on the table directly.
I measured the bosses is about 1/2" thick, with a 1/4 mounting plate, the router will be 3/4" below the table. Is that too much?
2. What is the miter gauge for since a SMT is included already? Just for the router?
Also my miter gauge has some run from side to side in the T slot? Is it normal, is there a way to correct it?
3. When I put the SMT side by side with the saw and slide the miter fence, I can hear it scratches some portion of the main saw top(probably around the middle section). Is that normal? Or you usually don't line them right against each other?
Thanks in advance for your help.
