- Can you or somebody describe to the rest of us in some detail how it
- mounts? I am sure many of us would be interested in trying to fit the
- new guard to some other saw, and would need to know where it mounts
- (e.g. How far from the blade? To an edge of an extension table?) and
- how. If anyone has mounted one of these to some other saw I think that
- would be good to hear about: I would be interested in mounting one on
- a Powermatic 63L, the Artisan's saw with 50" fence.
