JessEm Mast-R-Slide Cross Cut Table

This looks like a very nice, functional tool. A bit expensive
certainly, but maybe not so bad if it really does what it's designed to
do?

Does anyone have any experience with this tool?

An excellent review on www.woodcentral.com in their articles section.

Some owners have mounted OUTSIDE their left side extension with no
issues, and therefore didn't have to move/cut their fence tubes.

No experience with it. For that kind of money, I would build a crosscut
sled, with adjustable miter capabilities, and then I'd spend the rest on a
stock of nice wood. I really don't like that you have to move your fence
rails for this to mount.

Not here, but my local Woodcraft has one on display. It's really very
nice. I was tempted, but the deal breaker for me was sawing off the
fence rails and losing the left side extension wing.

I that know people mount it on the wing, thereby spacing it away from
the blade, but that doesn't seem too attractive an idea either.

Beyond that, it does look solidly built and looks to be able to do
what they claim.
