: Like John I have an old 50's Craftsman which came with the wings. I replaced
: the motor with a sealed unit after saw dust fired up in the former. I've
: found large feed tables to be very helpful. Walking by a dumpster behind a
: museum being rehabbed I found several hundred roller frames that formerly
: permitted heavy volumes to be rolled out. I got permission to liberate
: about twenty of them. Set in legged frames they make great feed tables.

I thought I had seen all of the best table saws since I had worked in several big pattern shops such as GM's Fisher Body. But the small company I worked for most of my life owned a furniture factory on the side. When it went out of business they brought the table saw to our pattern shop. It is huge. I believe the blade alone is 20" and the table must be about 6'x10'. If I get a chance I will go in and take a picture and post it. Im' retired but they won't mind. I know many of you work in the furniture business and maybe a table saw of this size is not new to you.
