Ronn W Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 It's a long story that involves a damaged arbor and no replacment part and a tempraroy fix, but I may be in the market for a new table saw in the next year or so. The Laguna saw that I have has a 36" rip capacity. The only other saw that I found with a 36" rip capcity is a Baileigh. All others seem to be 30" or 52". 30" is not enough for kitchen cabinets and I do not have room for 52". And I don't have a track saw. So here comes the question........Can the fence rails on (for example) a PM1000 be moved to the right one hole to extend the fence rails to the right? (I never use the fence on the left side).

Robby W Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 For saws that use a T-square style fence, you can move the rails anyway you want. You might have to drill some holes or replace the tape, but none of that is hard. You can also just cut the 52 inch rails to 36" and shorten or remake the extension table.

wtnhighlander Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Moving the rails one hole should be no problem. I did that on my Rigid saw, providing room to add a router table without removing the right-hand extension wing. Think it gives me about 34" capacity on that contractor saw.

Chestnut Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 My fence never goes to the left side of my blade so you could get at least 6" more rip by moving the PM100 rails down 1 hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 SawStop PCS is available with a 36" fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Really appreciate the feedback. I found the "build-your -saw" page on the Sawstop website - Nice. Installed the repaired arbor in my saw and it sounds and runs like new - for now. Now I just have to wait and see how long my temporary arbor repair lasts.

treeslayer Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Care to share what happened Ronn and how you fixed it? I ask because my son has a Laguna saw, it’s only a year old and he’s had no problems so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
