New to Saw Stop. Table flatness question....?

The slider looks tempting, but I'd hate to give up my side extension.

It surprises me that the slider manual is so bad, being that the installation manual and everything else related to it for the saw are so vastly superior to any other manual for a machine I've ever worked on - and I've been in the woodworking machinery business for 30 years!  They must have rushed it to get in on the market for IWF.  I was flat blown away by the detail of the installation manual and hardware packaging that came with the saw.

I couldn't agree more.  It might be that the saw is made in Taiwan and the slider in China?

Nah....Just remove the slider fence which is quite easy, the slider has a lock underneath.  ....if anything you'd gain some space
