This is for those like Mark and others that have built a workstation cabinet for the BT3x00 saws, particularly if you are using extended rails.
Can somebody clue me in to what the critical dimensions for designing such a cabinet would be? I am assuming the following dimensions need to be considered.
#1. Width between the rails / width of saw table. From what I have seen this makes the depth of the entire cabinet in most cases. Do I need to go a little narrow to accomodate for any sort of mounting hardware for the rails?
#2. Height of saw from mounting surface to top of table.
#3. Distnace from left side of saw body to wherever we want the left panel of the upper part of the cabinet to be. In my case since I want to keep the Ryobi router table piece, and the dual miter slot table, I would want to effectively brush up against the side of the router table part...
How are the extended rails mounted to the cabinets without pushing them too far apart, or pulling them in too much and interfering with fence operation?
