The Bench Dog table is always shown on the left side of the saw table. Is there any reason it could not go on the right side?

Per the instructions that comes with the table. Note: ProMAX cannot be installed as a left extension replacement on left tilt "cabinet" grade table saws because the table saw's motor protrudes to the left. Nor can ProMAX be installed as a right extension replacement on right tilt "cabinet" grade table saws for the same reason. Mounting ProMAX to the far right will avoid the protruding motors, however, ProMAX must be supported with the two steel rails that also support your T-square style rip fence and legs.

I have mine on the right side and it works just fine. I think they show it as they do because most saws already have an extension table on the right side.

I mounted mine on the right side. I just had to remove the large plastic motor cover so the router would have enough room to mount up. My table saw is a Craftsman 10in and I had no problem removing and mounting everything. I put a piece of cardboard over the opening created by removing the plastic cover but haven't had any issues. Oh, there is plenty of room when I tilt the blade.

What about the fence rails on the right side of a lot of saws? Wouldn't those get in the way of feeding stock through the router (as far as you, the operator?)

It should be able to mount on either side. The hole configuration on the sides of the table is symmetrical, so the extension wings are interchangeable -- so the router extension wing should be as well. Keep in mind that the table saw fence is typically used on the right side of the blade, so depending on the size of the cut you are making you may need to be lowering your router more frequently than if it was on the left.

Yes, on mine it is on the left side. It is lasered in. THe picture is upside down and I don't know why they can't show a better image on Amazon. I love this block.

Hi. The router table has no holes for bench dogs. But I'm not sure what you might be trying to solve here. Dogs are used on tables as a stop for pieces of wood so that, for example, you can just plop the wood onto your workbench and work it with a plane or whatever without the wood sliding or moving about. On a router table, you don't need that function whereas you will need feather boards to help guide the wood as you move it over the bit.

Turn the bench the oppiset way. if necessary trade slide rails to put slide relese on correct side.

I'm right-handed.I sit my pug on my lap, facing away from me. I can quiet her rebellion quite well with this positioning.My older 4.8V model 750 rotated away from us in this position, and that would be the direction I prefer, unlikethe groomer in answer #1.

This is mysterious. Raise the blade up as high as it will go and check with a square that you trust to see if the blade is truly perpendicular to the table. Make sure that the throat plate is not throwing off this check for square. If the blade is square to the table top, then you might try a run-out gauge on the saw's arbor. Excessive run-out is less likely in my opinion and probably wouldn't cause the uneven bases in any event. Finally, make sure you have a backer board behind your work piece.

I have it installed on a 10" Rigid table saw. Bolted up fine on mine. In fact, I took the the cast iron table wing which is removed to install the Bench Dog, and reinstalled it on the other end of the table. The fence guides are long enough on mine and it only took drilling a few holes and some extra bolts. Even larger table now!!!

Yes, you could see the dog. there is mesh up the side, over the side, and down the other side. Please do not take your dog somewhere it is not allowed. Owning a dog has a lot of responsibility, don't make it hard on the rest of us.

If the saw blade is on the left side, it tilts to the left. (the top of the saw)If you can't make the desired cut by turning the work over or cutting in the opposite direction, you may want a saw with the motor on the left and the blade on the right side. These are generally available in corded and cordless models

Afraid not. The pre-drilled holes for assembly are arranged so you can only assemble them on the left. But it's a great piece and I've enjoyed it a lot. I get a lot of compliments on it also.

The fence may be slightly skewed when you move it. However, you align the fence and bit using a straight edge. So, even if the fence isn't "square" relative to the table, it is "square" relative to itself and the bit. This would mean that you still cut on a straight line.

By the way this is the best design of a real light weight, footprint when closed, setup/knock down work table I ever came across! To answer your question you could mount a chop or table saw to it because it has the built in bench clamp set up. You may have to mount your saw onto a board so it can be clamped down. I have had my Makita miter saw on this table as well as my wet saw....table is rock solid and stable enough to even hold me up at 180lbs. I have purchased other tables and this one is the best!

We're traveling now and can't remember if it can only be used on the left side. We can let you know once we get home on Wednesday. We would be happy to sell you ours at half price plus shipping since we are not using it anymore. The product is great but we have a very easily distracted dog.

The drawer only goes in the one side of the table it isn't able to be put in any other way. It's is exactly the way it's pictured.

The right side of the table is the part that lifts. The left side of the table is removable so you can either have the cushion showing, or have wood top on the left. I hope this is what you are asking.

just order the side you need. I have both left and a right ones. The only issue I have is that my sofa has sloping arms, remember the table has to be able to clear the arms of a chair or sofa. So you might find the table a bit higher than like, but it is what it is.

Good question. My Mikita 10" table saw has been experiencing slight misalignment. Also, the fence measurement is off about 1/4" inch. Answer: I haven't the foggiest idea.
