I also have a Bosch 4000 with a Gravity Rise stand; any bigger system is out of the question because of space limits. As my woodworking has developed, my definition of precise keeps getting more precise, and so far it has met the test.

I bought a second blade guard, took it apart, and cut down the splitter to give me a true riving knife (thank you Bosch), without which I never operate. Should be available comercially.

The throat plate sizing is unique to Bosch, and a real pain to duplicate for a zero clearance insert. Took the trouble to make a pattern, and then a batch for different blades. The Bosch insert plate is light plastic from toyland, and nobody else sells one for this saw. Definite minus.

Built a crosscut sled that I use a lot. A tenoning sled that rides on the fence works, but hindered by the cosmetic high spot at front of fence. Don't need that design ("ergonomic"?) bump!

Also upgraded to Forrest blades and stiffener, tho also use Bosch blades, which are themselves good quality.

Definitely the way to go for us space-challenged folks!
