   It is a better plan to build the table that the saw sits on an inch or so lower than the saw's table height and then adjust the saw's height with blocks. Later if you change saw's, it will be a lot easier to get the new saw to the correct height by just using different height blocks.

   John thanks for the reply. That is my intention, but I can't really tell if 4" or ? is the exact height so I can adjust to it.  All the ones at Home Repo etc are in boxes and I can't measure them... Never did like starting a project with a guess... Always turned out wrong. My Old chop saw is 3 1/2".

   It is always a good plan to have hardware in hand before starting a project.John W.

   John that is what i like about your articles and work. Our Home Repo has a contractors day sale on April, and I can get another 10% off. Doing a sketch up plan now to get ready. I can't find a plan for Mat Teagues saw station, so I am working through the concept, but want it mobile.

   Love this web site, good solid suggestions floating around. I sent a question in to FWW about the drill press review, one part of the article gave one Griz model the best value and the comparison chart showed a different model. Curious which was correct.

   Morgan, you can check out this web site for my day job.

   That seems to be a rule everybody knows but not many follow.  Trust me - I often get to deal with those who don't follow it.Chris @ flairwoodworks

   Like most everything in construction and cabinetmaking, I usually learned things like that the hard way. When you are trying to make a living at your craft, mistakes are truly painful, but rarely repeated.John W.
