Can it mount to extension wings? Any complaints with it?

My Ridgid saw came with two stamped wings and a space to the right to build an additional extension. While it would probably be possible to continue to use them (by building a support beneath) I don't know why you would. I just built custom wings out of 3/4" Melamine. No real complaints. It's not the prettiest fence out there but it does the job.

That's a difficult question to answer not knowing what brand and model of tablesaw you intend to attach it to. Mine is on an older Rockwell Contractors saw. The guide rails bolt to the main casting (table) using the four existing bolt holes. The original right-hand extension wing was disgarded and replaced with a 36" long ply and hardwood extension table which must be built by the owner. This extension table rests between the new guide rails on four supplied steel supports. I've had no problems no problems at all. I should point out, though, that unless you have adequate experience or access to someone who does, you may want to check Vega's website to see if a copy of the instructions can be downloaded for you to examine and see if the systyem appears adaptable to your particular saw and if you are up to the task of installing it. Hope this helps.

I mounted it to my 70's vintage Unisaw, bolted right up. I've had my Vega Pro 40 for about two years now and flat love it. My only very minor complaint is that unlike the competition (Biesemeyer, Unifence) the scale tape is mounted on top of the front bar, rather than in a recess, so it has sustained some damage. The Pro 40 is a perfect fit for my smallish shop and the price is more than fair for a quality fence.

not sure what extension wings are. I can tell you I am very happy with this product. I rate it as a 10.Dale

No complaints at all. You'd have to drill holes in the rails to mount it to extension wings. I think it's probably a whole lot easier to drill holes in the saw table rather than trying to drill a hole in the round front bar. The holes in the front bar and my table lined up nicely, but I had to drill and tap holes in the back of my saw. A handheld drill and a new bit was plenty of power to get through the cast iron in no time at all.

Yes, it can mount to extension wings. The problem with the fence is that its virtually impossible to get rail to stay parallel to the blade if you set the basic fence lock, do a fine adjustment the set the main fence lock. Good system in theory but cheap and poorly thought out detail.

I have a 1982 Craftsmans saw with a cast iron Bench Dog router extension on the left side and another extension on the right. My front rail is mounted to the far right of the saw and far left of th router extension. No problems on the front and one hole one the rear. It works fine much much better than the original craftsman fence. I have 30 inches right of the blade and 24 left.

Most factory wings (stamped steel) are not stable enough for solid mount. The unit is designed to be mounted to the cast iron table top. On my Hitachi, the front tube required no modification. The rear bar was a simple mod. I kept my factory stamped steel extension to the left, and followed the included instructions and made a large extension table to the right with support legs. I also was able to make a large extension table off the back using tips in the instructions. I can rip down full sheets of ply by myself with ease. Only complaint for me was I didn't do this sooner.

I am not sure about that, I think goldwing has a special mounting kit. Guess you have to check with a reseller

I mounted mine in my table saw. I removed one of the cast iron extension wings, got a piece of phenolic resin plywood and cut it to the size of the extension wing, routed it to accept the router plate and router, and mounted it where the old extension wing was. Works great and I have the option of using the fence from my table saw with it as well. I have run numerous sheets of plywood and MDF over it, as well as hard wood lumber, and have had no issues with it snagging or scarring material.

Not at all. I don't want to permanently modify it, but I'm thinking about using magnet stickers or something to make it stay closed. The wings won't stay in the flight position, either. You have to take it apart and put in a weaker spring.

I believe I did install the mount in two pieces, with a single bolt and nut holding it together. I can verify that over the weekend if you can wait until then. I did not use the wings for my TV. It does work great and would recommend it.

as long as the wings have at least 3 or 4 feet between them you should be ok. The more space between them, the better

It's very easy. To make it even easier you could remove the "wings" and reattach them once you have it mounted to the vehicle.

A little bit. The feet wrap around the hinge on mine. It still looks really good, though! The wingspan fits fine.

I would not do that. If you are worried about the base moving, just put a towel under it. Securing it would probably cause premature failure. The wing nut is not too small, but you will want to cut the post stud down for bette speed in securing it.

I wouldn't try it. I've got 3x 21 inch monitors on mine and I consider them to be at about the ideal angle. With a 24" center and 2x 27" wings, if it does manage to work, they would all be flat and quite uncomfortable to look at.

It's rack mountable in the sense that you'd need to purchase the kit to make it so. The wings aren't included; you'd need something like an RF Armor 1UTSPRS 1U Rack System

No, they are adjustable up/down., you can buy one without the wings for a cheaper price.

Yes you can. All you need is a mounting bracket which you can get from a birding supply store. Just make sur it will fit the diameter of the pole, then drill the pilot holes and drive some wood screws and you're done.

Yes. You will need cross bars to mount the wings. They are wonderful! It has been much easier for us to load and tie our kayaks down on our Subaru Outback with these wings! Joyce

The wing needs to attach to some sort of rack or pole. It has u-bolts for attaching.

It comes with mounting brackets, may need a little bending but should work no problem.

You would have to move both holes away from the stud to allow the Wingit to expand, or you can move it onto the stud, in which case you wouldn't need the Wingit at that location.
