Corwin said:Sorry, I meant both the TS55 and TS75 saws. Anything too tall and too near to the left side of the Guide Rail will interfere with either saw when set at deeper depths. IIRC, the TS55 requires just over 5/8" to the left of the Guide Rail for clearance while the TS75 needs much more -- something well aver an inch, I forget right now. For many cutting operations this standoff amount is not required, but why create jigs and/or setups that further limit the capacity of you saws?
Hi, Corwin. Not sure how you're using your saw and guide rails, but when I use mine on the MFT, I only have to set the blade deep enough to reach the surface of the MFT. At the risk of appearing to confuse the independent & dependent variables, "the deeper I have to set the saw, the higher the guide rail is above the surface of the table." So in terms of clearance, it's ended up being a wash for me so far--no interference no matter how deep I've set the saw.
Regards,
John
