I don't but they were just your standard reed valves in the head if that helps.

Before I got rid of my RAS (too much room in my shop, being used as storage) I was able to use it with a chuck on the spindle but only for very large bits. It wasn't ideal but it did work. I think the idea of a radial arm router is a useful one.

I haven't seen a microwave cap with out some sort of drawdown well ever. I suppose some of the older ones might have. Don't just fear bate, share how to test the cap is down with a chunky screwdriver. Teach what you know... or don't share it.

There are several options and none of them are bad because the factory fence is one of the weakest features of the saw. I have a Bessemer saw fence on my General and it could be bolted onto your saw. Someone on one of the rebuild videos put another unit on their saw and said it worked great. I wish I could tell you which video but I can't from work. They added a link to their review of the fence so you could get a good look.Ken
