Well, I said I needed 7 ft rails for my table saw and now I’ve got ‘em…I didn’t want an extra day for the freight company to deliver them, so I called, scheduled a pickup and drove about an hour to get them. Once back home, I dismantled the old rails and began installing the new ones. It was pretty straightforward with the exception that I had to drill and tap two holes on the cast iron router table wing. I thought I would like the router table wing feature when I bought the saw, but I really didn’t like it at all. Hence the new router table I built last week. Anyway, the holes in the router wing were drilled for the standard rails, so I had to use the drill bit and tap (which they supply with the rail kit) to make new mounting points. All in all, not bad and I think I’m really going to like the (much) larger capacity I’ll get with these rails. Only thing left is to build a table to fit in the opening left on the end.
