TKS 80 Table saw + Incra positioner
« on: April 15, 2023, 10:58 AM »
Hi All,

First post here so please be kind :)

So much about my TKS 80 bugs me (especially the sticking fence) except of course the saw stop tech so I have set about doing something about it. Yes I know its a job site saw but that's not what I want it for in my workshop :)

I was already using an Incra positioner + wonder fence on my stand alone router table so I thought it would make a great fence for the TKS 80. I am using the INCRA TS-LS Joinery System XL 1320mm (Metric) with the INCRA Large Saw Conversion.

I will post progress as I make it here (this will be a slow build I am afraid). Eventually this will all be a raising / lowering wooden workbench frame.

I get your reasoning for building now. I think I read somewhere that tablesaws are not sold in Europe/UK. Any truth to that?

:) Plenty of options over here but if you want saw stop tech there are (I think) only 2 choices.

1. The festool TKS 80
2. A very expensive and very large Felder that would never fit in my workshop unfortunately here.

My problem is that I am most definitely a beginner and want to keep all my fingers hence these choices.
