Thanks everyone for your tips and advice. Yes Chris from Wantage is a very nice guy. Now have to design and build a surround / support and a way to mount it on my Workmate

Is there an advised space height under the top to allow for clamps / access etc?

Just had a troll on the interweb and found out what block board is. Is this a material that is used for MFT tops?

Sorry I’m rank amateur, block board? I’m only thinking flatness for accuracy?

Thanks for feedback. I was looking to build a torsion box aka 10 minute workshop, and then some sort of beam to clamp into my work mate. So MR MDF it is Thanks Gordon

Hi All, I am going to make an MFT top work bench that will come off it’s legs to stack for space. What’s the views on ply for a slightly lighter cans hard wearing top, or the accuracy and flatness of MDF albeit heavier ( I will be buying one from The guy based in wantage) Thanks Gordon

Well, after scratching my head still further, I think it might have ended up being a combination of the angle of the blade ( now sorted) and the riving knife. Decided to remove the knife again after resetting the blade angle and the cut was significantly better. On closer inspection the knife...

Hi Worn When I set up the sliding table, I used the holding rail adjustment to get it parallel to the table. I have since managed to get another hour to study it this morning and couldn't help thinking it was a blade related issue as any cuts on the left seemed to be the issue. After some...

Thanks Mark I set the sliding table up so that during its travel from front to back it was the same distance from the table edge. Then I set the cross bar to the blade using the adjustable button as you suggest and the set square is absolutely spot on to the blade which is why its such a head...

Hi John I probably need to find a way to accurately measure the longer distance from the inside edge of the slider to the blade. I measured the gap between the main table and the slider table and easily within 0.1mm front to back. I will measure again over the blade distance. The whole slider...

Hi Bingy When I set the blade up, I set it up on the left mitre slot which is one of the reasons I am so puzzled. then I used a checked set square to set up the sliding table cross bar and the mitre gauge and both are spot on to the blade I will make a new dial gauge holder to check the right...

This seems an odd one. Although still a bit of a newby with table saws, this is my first proper table saw, the last 3 were job site versions. Decided to do a full strip down and blade alignment as I was trying to improve the dust collection (now better but still not great really) Got the blade...

Thats the one thank you Project started

Hi All I am sure I spotted a while back a thread on this but I have been unable to find it again I am looking to fit a hood under the top section of the saw but I am wondering if I need to remove the blade shroud that currently does a very poor job of collecting the dust. I had spotted a thread...

Sorry to be clear I was looking to avoid snapping them off
