I've got an MK Tile Saw with an over table arm - kind of like a radial arm saw, but fixed height and position. It came with a 7" blade. I want to put a 6" lapidary blade on it. I use it to slice art glass billets sometimes. The 6" lapidary blade is thinner and cleaner. BUT, the arm and table are fixed for 7". I can build an "overtable"
- but in doing so I'll lose the use of the fence, which while not exactly a precision instrument, is good enough and easier to use than manually clamping a straight edge at both ends. Alternatively, I could lower the arm (reposition the point at which the arm is screwed to the table body), but that looks problematic as well. BTW, the saw is a wet saw - so any mods need to keep that in mind.
Anyone run into this before and have any bright ideas or comments?
Thanks
