Free .pdf saw owner's manual: Write Bob@theaerosmith.com Here are some modifications The AeroSmith found most useful. (See Dremel Photo Page) 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. 7) Backside enclosed and vacuum fitting attached for really good dust control.

See the page with more photos of the saw modifications. If you don't do anything else for your saw, get carbide blades...and buy a spare belt. I think the HF blades are a great deal, and the Zimbyo seamless belts have good feedback. Smoother running than standard belts. 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 may have motors. (4-25-05) From the folks at Dremel: The correct belt for the DREMEL saw through McMaster is Catalog No. 6082K51 and you need to specify 10" circumference, 1/4" width. Check their site for this time at www.mcmaster.com. (Those Zimbyo belts: http://zimbyoproducts.com/shop/article_ZIM-DTSB/Belt-for-Dremel-Table-Saw.html?shop_param=cid%3D2%26aid%3DZIM-DTSB%26 Also check Micro Mark that specializes in small tools and accessories. Their web site is www.micromark.com. The correct belt for the DREMEL saw through Micro Mark is #82871. They also have blades for the Dremel table saw #60293, #602994. Blades are VERY expensive, but good.
www.harborfreight.com Great quality carbide blades at an EXCELLENT price. 24 Tooth: #90175 @ 7.47 40 Tooth: #90176 @ 10.99 These are an extraordinary buy, and I highly recommend them. Only differences, aside from them being about third the price, is that they cut a slightly wider kerf. 1-28-12 NOTE: Sadly, these great blades have been discontinued by HF. BEWARE, one of the numbers has been reused and if you order it, you will receive a 7" blade!! You might try calling your local HF stores to see if they happen to have any of the little 4" blades left on their shelves. http://www.wmberg.com/index.htm 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
