Three & a half inches had to be cut from the support columns. The sliding table was then bolted to the saw using the original bolts for the Delta left extension table. I used my drill press and a custom fence made of scrap wood to drill the new mounting holes accurately. A 48" sheet of plywood will be about 6 inches in front of the blade when I start the saw, and just past the center of the blade upon completion of the cut. I thought mounting the sliding table so that its center was 3-1/2 inches in front of the saw's table center would be safest. I then set the sliding table on top of the table saw with the blade raised one inch, to determine the best position for it. I marked this on the slide, as well as the center of the sliding table. Three and a half inches are required to mount the fence. This also gave me an opportunity to position the sliding table to maximize its functionality. The pre-drilled mounting holes are too low on the sliding table for my Delta Unisaw. The cam-locked wheel are at the right side of the saw, to tilt the extension table (to be added later) up when the saw is moved. Tilting the saw allowed me to slide a couple of one inch boards under the saw to fit the base. Critical Step: Ensure the saw is fully aligned before installing any attachments!!!Īssemby of the mobile base is straight forward. A cover was cut from sheet steel, and fitted with a Universal Flange (Busy Bee #W1010) for dust collection. The fence, motor cover, and extention tables were removed.
They carry far more than just King products. I highly recommend going to both this shop, and Mike for your tool purchases in Nova Scotia. My cap's off to Mike McGraw at Rideout Tool and Machine Inc, who worked hard to get the initial order and replacement for me.
UNISAW MOBILE BASE MANUAL
Busy Bee does have a full manual available on-line. The Craftex unit came with a stripped down seven page user manual, while King included a full printed manual. The only difference I found was the manual included by the two companies. The Craftex CX200S, and King KST101 appear to be identical units in identical packaging. Unwilling to wait for another replacement, I purchased Craftex version (CX200S) which Busy Bee had in stock, only two blocks away from the King dealer. On opening the package at the store, we found that the table was damaged, and several parts were missing, including the entire box containing the extension table. Packaging of the replacement was severely damaged. The replacement appeared to have been dropped.
King offered me a discount on the original Sliding Table, which accounted for some of the delay. There were delays in sending me a replacement, which finally arrived one month after the return was initiated. KMB-1275 Heavy-Duty Extendable Universal Mobile BaseĪll arrived in ten days in good condition except for the King Sliding Table Attachment (KST-101) which was damaged upon receipt.
I purchased them instead and ordered the following from King through Rideout Tool and Machine Inc:Ĥ. I had decided on the King KC-26FXT/i30/Deluxe when a used Unisaw and King #KC-3105C Dust Collector showed up on Kijiji. Although this saw could handle the job, I wanted something better.
I had a Makita 2708 8-1/4" contractor saw with the optional extension table.
