The model in this review is from the old owners of the company (AD&E).
|
|
This is the model U55 (now the U55S.) It has two 50" extension wings, saw stand and flipstop. The saw attaches to a MDF top that fits into the saw stand. Hardware than gets bolted to the saw, I had to drill the holes in my saw, that then accepts the fence.

Shown in the two pictures above is the mounting hardware.

Close up of the saw and fence together. The hardware holds this end in alignment.

The great thing about the sawhelper is that you can set it up in only a few minutes. And the fences will be perfectly aligned every time.
|
|
The hardware self aligns, all you have to do is tighten the hand screw on the fence. Then get the fences coplanar to the saw, I use a 6' level to help do this.
|
|
Shown here is the leg for the fence, notice the T-screw to adjust the height.
|
| |
I have found the sawhelper to be very robust. The extension wings (fences) are made from heavy duty tempered aluminum. The hardware, stand and fence legs are a thick gauge steel. This setup should give years of service.
|
| |
In the next picture you can see that I have added wooden extensions to the fences, I also use them to set my glasses and muffs on.
|
|
Here is a shot of the flipstop.
|
|
As the name implies, it can be fliped out of the way when not is use.
