Large-Capacity Sliding Tables
These tablesaw add-ons handle crosscutting tasks up to full-panel width
Kelly Mehler evaluates three large-scale tables that ease the strain of crosscutting safely and accurately. These are designed for use with American-style tablesaws and can handle full-panel width. He looked at two tables from Canada (the Excaliber and the Exaltor) and one from Belgium (the Robland). His criteria for evaluation include price, size, stroke, which saw styles they fit, assembly/installation time, ease of alignment, overall accuracy, and fence stability, and then he adds comments of his own.
