Thank you all for your input. The Byrnes saw gets the most votes so far. What accessories are a must have? Thanks, Ward
I have made several useful accessories, pictures to follow.
I will actually caution on buying the sled with the adjustable miter bar. I bought it, but do not use it enough to justify the cost. I did buy the "micro adjuster thingie" for very refined adjustments and do use that on occasion. Mostly, some scrap aluminum angles and plates. Oh, and a small file with a ground tip to guide pieces (orange in my picture.
I make lots of small, thin cuts, so I have several lengths of aluminum angle bars that I use to get a space for my material to drop to the right of the blade without getting pulverized. I also use at times a shop vac attachment on the right to pull the pieces away safely. And the last picture shows my fancy zero tolerance plate - blue painters tape. I'll place the tape over the blade (in the recessed position), raise the blade to the height I need, and adjust the right guide angle plate to just the edge of the blade. I like having a tight front edge for my zero tolerance, so the blue tape is essentially a custom fit every time - works great for a single project, costs nothing.
These have worked for me - I know my machine, I know my limits, be safe.
