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. French built tiny table saw, links, and the Dremel 580 Table Saw Manual http://www.modelshipwrights.net/Jim%20Byrnes%20Saw.htmavailable! http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4184262&a=31227703&f= Be sure to look here for some mind-boggling, super quality modeler's tools made by modelers for modelers: www.byrnesmodelmachines.com
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) 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. 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 & #50291. 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. 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 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.)
