Can I remove the fence entirely to make room for a dovetail jig? And if I do so, will I lose the vacuum port?

Yes, you can remove the fence completely but the vacuum port will go along with it. You would probably have to figure out some other temporary vacuum docking system that works with the dovetail jig. This is a spiffy table though. If you haven't purchased it, I recommend it!

Yes to both,fence is easy to remove vacuum port is attached to the back side of the fence.

Hi,To be real honest, no. You actually have to take it out of the case. You could make a small modification like I did. I just trimmed the material that was an obstruction. That was my best way of solving the issue. I hope tthis info helps. - Joel

If you're just running a shop vac, I wouldn't recommend this. It won't pull enough air to make a difference, especially if you're splitting the suction between the Incra fence and the Cleansweep enclosure. The gate on the Cleansweep is 4 inches in diameter and I would recommend that you run at least a 1.5 hp impeller style dust collection system to gain benefit from this accessory.

No you do not. If you use hooks, you can remove the hooks. If you use one with rings buit in, you should still be able to remove without dismantling. Worst case, sinse the rod is held in by the "spring" of the arc, carefully tension the rod, and remove from the wallmounted receiver.

Hey William. I have it on my Rigid Shop Vac and really like it. At the time I got it I also had an old Craftsman Vac that I no longer have. So I am not totally sure if I robbed a part from the Craftsman or if it fit without any other connectors. Either way it will be well worth the effort. Hope this helped.

Yes, the fence fits. It's well engineered and is easy to remove to change a blade. Also, to comment on a previous answer, the fence can be adjusted for drift using one of the allen wrenches supplied with the saw. The instructions don't cover the procedure for determining the angle and direction of drift, however.

I cannot say with certainty, however I will say the fence is very versatile and quite easy to modify which is what I did rather than modify my saw. I would suspect you could make it work for your needs. Sorry for the delayed response.

You really DON'T want to do that. It'll most likely require removing the blade guard and that's NOT a good thing. That being said - UNPLUG IT, remove the existing blade (and NOT the guard) and see if the bigger one fits SAFELY inside the guard. Spin it by hand while raising and lowering the guard. If you have 100% clearance, then its OK to use. The slightest rub - and the solution is to buy a new saw or another blade. Stay SAFE....

It is not difficult, as there is a "button" you depress on the top of the tool to detach the item you are using, and replace it by snapping in the attachment you want. The drill and sander work fine for me, but the jig saw was not great.

You can't. Jig and router much too large. You are better off using a hole saw bit for that size and then cleaning it up with the router.

Use spudger tool to carefully port apart. Check you tube, very helpful instructional videos....

Well I'm not looking at mine at the moment but I imagine you could but before I got out the knife I would take a good long look at the fittings to see if you can remove them without destroying them. If that is possible then I would reattach in the reverse way you removed it. Should you not be able to remove one end or the other I suggest calling Bosch and speak to a Technician. You can try Bosch directly or you could try CPO Bosch.

Check out the videos on You Tube. It is an awesome jig. The sacrificial fence has to be 3/4" thick 1x stock. I believe the manual says it can not be taller that 2.5"' so a 1x3 will work perfect. I still have to add one on my jig as I just got it.

Don't know much about your saw except what I can see from a pic. The other respondent says his mounted with out trouble. I can tell you if you can get it mounted you will likely see a great improvement in the accuracy and ease of use of your saw. Wax both rails where the slides sit (not the lower part where the cam locks) and look for tiny nibs in the chrome where it slides. Remove these with a fine abrasive. This will make the fence operation very smooth.

I am not sure, but I doubt it. The fence has a specific latching mechanism that is probably different than the one on a craftsman saw. I had to mount the rails on my saw by drilling a few holes.

I would think if you remove the reel, you are also going to remove the connector, plus the bottom of the pot is open to allow for drainage...why not just get one of those nice decorative pot, although I know the hose would not be covered...if that is what you are looking to accomplish.

Yes, I actually just removed mine. It's made out of a hard foam substance and the whole piece pulls out. It gives about an extra inch of space
