Can you use a T-square or other tool on this table?

The trays to hold your pencils, rulers, etc. will be a problem. But if you don't mount them on one side (or both - although the trays are handy) you could use a T-square along the edge OK.

YES! Make sure to put cardboard under the copper when doing it, so as not to mark your table

The table does not have a angle guide on it but if you made a guage as a guide it would cut at any angle

If everything is square, there should not be a problem. I occasionally use paste wax on top and slides. Everything works smoother, plus lumber slides on saw easier.

Sure you can and I have for years....I use it to drill the blank, square the ends, and assemble. I have turned pens on it too but prefer a smaller lathe for my pen work.

Yes, but you need to drill a hole to access the adjustment. Then you just put the Allen wrench through the table too when you need to. Don't be turned off by having to drill a hole, it's quick, easy, and the too already has a ton of them.

The T-Square will slide, but the neck is not touching the surface of the table as the "head" of the T-square is held about 1/4" away from it. Even without the trays, the tray holding clips hold it away. HOWEVER, I use the trays only on the left side and removed the clips" on the right side with a Phillips screw driver. Problem solved in about 2 minutes or less. You could even do so on both sides if you wanted to remove all the tray clips.

Depends. In the photo, you can see that there are two legs that curve underneath. On some tables, the edge of the table isn't set back from the frame sufficiently to allow the legs to rest underneath the tabletop surface. So, look at your table. If you can fit a hand width between the edge and where the table frame begins, you should be good to go!

Yes just turn the table around so that it is on the right side. I have mine that way.

You would have to modify the table. I did by cutting the bottom stand where the pieces mount together.

I don't know why not, but I've never tried it that way. I wanted something that I didn't have to use as a table top yet didn't have to bend over for either. This is ideal, and I'm VERY satisfied with it.

Yes, im a lefty too. Its not the best, as all square tables. I do plan to make a new top with cut outs in the future. I

I imagine if you do the math right, there would be no reason why you couldn't shorten it. The only hardware is the corner pieces (right angles). Just remember that you also need to shorten the boards in the center that form the "u" shape.

I havé nô idéal, but i fine Thére are usually Many was to d'ajuster this - such as adding extension brackets. Thé major considération is thé distance between thé table top holes and thé top of thé surface. Tell me thèse dimensions and i CAN tell you IFOP you need d'ajust brackets

I think you could, however it would take work and some power tools. I would not suggest it. Fyi, the table is not too sturdy, only one side locks in place and the other I held in place with a bolt and wing nut. Good luck!

Yes! You can cut these boards. My personal method is to use a sharp knife or small hacksaw to cut groove into the board, and then turn it over and cut another groove on the back side along the same line. Then you can position the board so that your cut lines up with the edge of a table, and push down on the portion of the board that is hanging off the table to "snap" it off. It's sort of like the way sheet glass is cut by scoring and snapping. Does this make sense?

I believe so! Every year or two any table will start to wobble. This desk has a hex wrench for installing the table. Keep it around in your artbin for future tighting and maintance.
