I am considering one of these saws as they look to be good value.
Could someone tell me if the 3/4" mitre slots are also 3/8" deep?, and therefore capable of accepting an Incra mitre gauge.
The slots on my little Startrite 165 are 3/4" x only 1/4" deep
Does anyone find the right-tilting blade (toward the fence) a problem.. or is this something you just get used to?
Anyone know who sells the sliding table, which I assume is a retrofit item?
What about spare parts availability, or is this too much to hope for on such a budget saw.
I'm not sure which saw your referring to Anolan, if it's the Sip cast iron one I haven't measured how deep the slots are but they are more than 1/4" probably are 3/8", regarding the tilt to the right there is no problem as the fence can go either side of the blade, I do quite a lot with the fence to the left of the blade.
The sliding table can be bought on it's own, but I would imagine it would be best/cheapest buying the saw with one fitted.
Can't say about the spares as I've not needed anything as yet. 8)
