: Hey Don, I assume the Woodworker's saw is the portable that came out about

: considering the purchase of one. My impression from his description was
: that the fence was totally different from conventional table saw
: fences--that the fence was integral to the design of the table meaning
: that the fence could not be replaced by an aftermarket fence. I could be
: way off base with this but make sure you look before leaping. Also, last
: time I noticed the price of a DeWalt, unless you really want or need a
: portable saw, for about the same money you can buy a very serviceable
: contractor's saw. Good hunting, Tom

I just checked 3 different sites and they all agree about two things. The table size is a little small and the Price is a lot too big. The $529 that you would pay for this portable, will buy you a couple of the top 5 contractor models listed in my post above. And, yes, the fence is of a different design than any other on the market according to the articles. If you need a portable model, then there are several others that price out at about half of that cost.

Hope that helps........Rehd
