Modified Excalibur

[apopj]

HI Steve...

I don't doubt you've already been asked this, or perhaps thought about it in your testing, but, since the new Jet saw looks so very similar to the Excalibur, is there a possibility that you could order replacement parts and change out the thumb screw blade mount on the Excalibur and convert it to the new style on the Jet? I think this would be the best of both worlds, quick tensioning and top feeding as well. I did notice that you mentioned top feeding in your review, but some of my projects (using your patterns and the Resizer App) can reach 2 foot by 2 foot and that is a little large to be lifting to feed the blade through the bottom, especially complex shapes.
So, what do you think? Is it possible for a reasonable cost? Thanks for all the help,

One thing for the Jet saw with that blade set up is the slot in the table, EX saw does not have this so you would have to feed the blade from under the table through the hole to clamp it in, unless the table on the Jet is the same as the one on the EX. One person I know would be able to tell you is Ray at Seyco.
