    How much rail on the left?

    ONLY IF you have the wide table kit or at least extension rails, how much rail do you have to the left of the blade.

    Keep in mind that the SMT on the left requires about 12" of rail. About 16½" if you also have the Ryobi Miter Slot accessory.

    This is only the measurement of the RAILS. If you have a table extension that hangs past the end of the rails you can indicate that in a post.

    I leave enough on the left side of the blade to balance the offcut of a full size piece of plywood.

      I have the original rails set exactly centered and a set of extension rails on both the right side and left side.

          19" exactly from the edge of the saw body. I have the acc table all the way left and the SMT between it and the main table. On the right is my wide table kit with a 48" table.

            I have just the SMT and miter slot on the left. Accessory table is on the far right with a 48" table in between.

              Is your BT on casters, Steve?

                Just the standard ones. Really don't move it alot and after I recover some more space the DC run will probably keep it more stationary anyway
