Here are some modifications The AeroSmith found most useful.

1) Mounted to 3/4" Marine plywood base.
2) Table top surfaced on the milling machine.
3) Switch wired with hot pigtail for vacuum; it comes on when the machine is running.
4) Completely new, micro-adjusting rip-fence built.
5) Stock Dremel Miter highly modified for accuracy.
6) Inserts made to minimize the gap between the blade and the work.

More modifications to the Dremel Table Saw now available on the Epson site.

Other items of interest to Dremel owners:
Harbor Freight has carbide blades nearly identical to the (VERY expensive)Micro-Mark blades, but for an excellent price. William Berg Co has toothed pulleys and belts, and Grainger has motors.

(4-25-05)

www.harborfreight.com Great quality carbide blades
24 Tooth: #90175 @ .99
40 Tooth: #90176 @ .99
These are an extraordinary buy, and I highly recommend them. Only differences, aside from them being about a tenth the price, is that they cut a slightly wider kerf.

Toothed belts and pulleys
Belt:
TB7UP4-120 (120 teeth) 9.99
Pulleys:
TP7A3W4-22 3/16" bore 9.99
TP7A4W4-24 1/4" bore 10.23
TP7A4W4-30 1/4" bore 10.97

www.grainger.com Replacement motor is Model number 2M034 @  37.50
(Grainger can be impossible to deal with if you have no retail sales number; I'm working on finding an alternate source.)

Here, the micro-adjusting fence - strips cut to within a thousandth are possible with ease.


Here, the modified Dremel Miter Gage.  (Please look for photo on lower right) The thick, and taller aluminum block is screwed onto to original Dremel steel backing, then trimmed 90° to the table on the milling machine.  The stamped steel tongue has been replaced with a close fitting aluminum one seen here.

SUPER QUALITY TABLE SAW AVAILABLE:
And, no I have no relationship here at all; just a great saw...expensive, but it SHOULD be!


The saw table is 10 x 12 x .375 thick tool and jig plate 6061-T6 aluminum.  It is made to aircraft tollerances,  most everything is + or - .001.  I have sold over 150 of these to the ship modelers and they absolutely love it.
