■ Whether you're looking for a universal or dedicated base, there are quite a few manufacturers out there to help you.

Dedicated Bases -Jet, Delta, and other manufacturers make dedicated bases for some of their tools (and some will fit other brands of tools). But for the most complete line of dedicated bases, give

Hi-Tech Table Saw Tune-Ups

a* 0B

■ You probably have most of what you need in your shop already to tune up your table saw (page 12).

■utfor a "hi-tech" approach, there are a number of products available.

In-Line Industries makes a number of products for tuning up tools. Their A-Linelt Kit contains everything youll need to check your saw down to the thousandth of an inch (0.001"). There's even an advanced kit with additional acces-

Fold-Away Tool Stand

HTC a call. They have a base to match just about any tool on the market.

Universal Bases -Most woodworking catalogs feature one or two different universal bases. But you can check out the margin to find contact information for the manufacturers of the universal bases featured in the article on page 22.

■ The fold-away tool stand on page 18 requires a few bolts, knobs, and some aluminum T-Track.

I ordered a 4' T-Track Kit (24672) from Rockier that contained most of the hardware I needed. I had to order an extra 3' piece of

T-track and then picked up the rest of the hardware at a local home center. Note: You'll need to cut the long T-track and a couple of the flange bolts to length.

These same supplies can also be purchased from the Woodsmith Store.

sories. In-Line also has other after-market add-ons for your table saw that can make it perform better — like a set of pulleys and a link belt, or the Precision Alignment and Locking System (PALS).

Finally, to get more out of your table saw blade you might want to consider the Truing Disc from Lee Valley or a blade stiffener from Forrest (800-733-7111, or on the web at forrestsawblades.com).

■ You should be able to find most of the hardware needed to build the sliding-door storage cabinet on page 6 at a local hardware store or home center. A couple of the items listed below may require a call to the manufacturer (or a check of their website) to locate a local distributor.

Hardware - To allow the doors of the cabinet to glide smoothly on the track, I used sliding screen door rollers. The ones I used were spring tension rollers made by Prime-Line Products (B-522). I

was able to find the rollers at a local Ace Hardware Store (5200662). You can also order them online at www.acehardware.com.

Storage Bins - The storage bin rack is sized to accept small Akro-Mils storage bins (30210). These plastic bins (or similar ones) are available from many hardware stores and home centers.

If you decide to use another brand, it's a good idea to have them in hand before you start building. This way, youll know they'll fit, or if you have to adjust the dimensions to suit &
