the fence is an excaliber that has been stretched to 48" with a BOW auxilery fence clamped on. it's 5" tall and has a channel to attach their feather boards. i did a review on it if your interested. a clip board holder rides with the fence so your cut list is always handy. push sticks ride on top so always right where you need em. this drawer is for measuring gauges and wrenches. i have a wixey for the fence. i made this to store my sleds, spline jig and sacrificial fence. nitrile gloves and bostik sprays. another compartment for feather boards and throat plates. this saw has a sliding table but i rarely ever have it on the saw as it takes up a lot of floor space and i do all my cross cuts on my RAS. i just checke it for square and it's dead on. the miter gauge that came with it is crap though. dust collection is not very good though, way too many open areas under the top so it's hard to get any suction.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
