   I had a large one on a 14" Delta. I'd score it 5 out of 10. Not bad for crosscuts on plywood. You have to check it often for accuracy. The frame work extends towards the operator zone of the saw so I mostly remember whacking my hip on it. Adjustments on the fence are Mickey Mouse. Once you have them locked down they are OK but moving the fence takes patience and just the right jiggling. You will lose the left hand extension on the saw. You won't want to take it on and off. It will be in your way for most other operations on the saw. Hope you have two saws. Legs are light weight, table slide relies mostly on a UHMW strip. It will almost double the footprint of your saw, makes for a long walk to the outfeed table. The smaller one won't give you the 48" capacity so why bother. I'd spend the money on a Festool or similar guide if you only have one table saw. The carriage will be in the way when you want to rip sheets.

   I've got a small Exaktor. I'd rate it ahead of a miter sled and way ahead of a miter guage but also far behind a Euro Slider. I got mine used and for less than half what they are asking new so I'm happy. I'm saving up for a Robland E300.
