Supersizing the Aldi/Taurus/Workzone table saw

[garym]

Needing a table saw with greater ripping capacity and better fence (one that doesn't shake loose), but being dismayed by the cost of anything remotely viable , I decided to try and eke out a few more years (months?) out of my Aldi table saw by incorporating it into a table saw workstation, and by building a T-Square type fence for it.

Thanks artme. Hmmm I thought riving knives were mandatory in Oz, am I wrong there?

But yes for such a (relatively) cheap saw it isn't a bad unit - but it has it's faults too as I am sure you can appreciate.

Oh and the knife has a guard with dust collection too - I just can't use it - it drives me crazy.
