Dunno if you are referring to the table saw or the router table, but there are a lot of occasions where you need to take the fence off a table saw. If you're crosscutting anything longer than the distance from your blade to the fence, you'd need to take the fence off. In its place, you use a miter gauge or a sled. (Its not wise to "freehand" wood into a table saw blade.)use the table without the fence?
use the table without the fence?
No apologies necessary....The RT worked good for about the 1st 15" but then I ran out of slide on the LS17.
SOrry I was clear on this.
