    Nice tips for table saw. I’m not a professional woodworker but I love wood working. I often do some simple things with the router and hand saw, not table saw. I plan to use the table saw now.

    I have a DEWALT DW745 table saw, its maximum rip capacity at not meet my require, so I want to expand its capabilities, can I use this method to do it?

      The extension table I built really didn’t increase my rip capacity. I ended up mounting a router into it.

          It’s hard to say without seeing the saw in person. Maybe you could replace the fence guide with a custom one you fabricate, or possibly build a table that your saw could fit in and use a different fence system. Here is a link to another site where he made a cabinet for a skill saw. http://woodgears.ca/homemade_tablesaw/ He has a lot of great stuff on his site and looking over it may give you some ideas on how to accomplish your goals.
