Since nobody seems to have mentioned it, you might want to check out . If yours is one for which there's a replacement guard available, you get a new table with the new guard, and it's all free.

Mine turns out to be a 113.23111, not eligible for the refit.

Get ahold of a model number that is good and use that. They will send you a blade guard and a new table. Chunk the bladeguard and use the table.

I like this approach; and you've got me (re)thinking my RAS table design. I think I'll rebuild it to incorporate the steel stiffeners; and I think I'll reduce the table width and add detachable extensions to both sides.

To attach the extensions, I'm planning to add 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1/8 aluminum angle to the underside of the table - full depth but attached only to the fixed portion of the table - and a matching angle to the end of the extension so that it'll only take two bolts to connect the two. (Picture of angle clamped in place on RAS table on ABPW)

I'm planning to groove the extensions so I can install mini T-track flush to the surface of the extensions and in line with the RAS fence. This should let me install movable T-stops (see

which should make repetitive cutting easier.

This is becoming too much fun (-:

I responded to the recall notice several years ago and got a new table and blade guard. The new table is hard pressed particleboard like the old one only thicker. I had to drill one hole in it as the factory hole on the table was slightly out of place but other than that it is working fine.

guard.

It's free regardless, so even if it doesn't come with a table you haven't lost anything but a little time.
