Pete T-Slot and T-bar
January 13th, 2005 04:11 PM
Does anyone know where T-bars for the 24883 TS can be purchased. I like everyone here cannot find any accessories that fit the 5/8 T-slot but heard that someone sells the T-bars with which to make jigs.

Had an $600 model 10-years ago with full 3/4 slots. Had to sell the table (financial issue) but still have some accessories that can be used if I can find the T-bars.

Your help is appreciated. If not, might just have to do a "money back guarantee" (only had it for 3 weeks and used it 2 times).

Thanks again,
Pete

The tool is made by Rexon Tools.

You should be able to find them by doing a google.com search.

Contact them and ask if they make your accessory. First step.
Pete Rexon only in UK?

I tried to find this using google and all I am coming up with is Rexon in UK and all dimensions are in mm.

I think this table saw is going to go back.
Joe I believe it's the same company

I believe it's the same parent company, even though the new ones are made in China. Why not call Sears Technical and ask?

I decided to keep the table and will probably just cut down some 5/8" hardwood stock to fit the slot. The price of the table overcomes the fact that the slots are the wrong size. And I thought standardization was becoming the norm.

Now what is the number for Sears Technical?

And thanks for your help.

You can send them an e-mail, although I did get wrong information from them on a vise I bought (another story, another post).
Pete Sears response

I asked: I am trying to find accessories or at least the bar that fit into the 137248830 table saw. This is the one with the unusual 5/8" t-slot. Do you sell the bar and I need one around 20-24 inches long to do some jigs? The table has a t-slot miter gauge that uses a 5/8" T-Bar as its base. This is an unusual size for a miter gauge. They are usually 3/4"X3/8" and not 5/8"X3/8". I am looking to make a crosscut table and need spare bars that would fit in the miter slot. Hope that helps.

Sears response: We unfortunately, do not carry a bar with those dimensions. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

I now decided that either the t-bar nubs need to go (grind them down) or I am going to make a jig that hugs the table and rides the extension rails. This would allow me to make a cross cut table that slides either along or in a slot on that jig. So I need to make a jig to use a jig...go figure.
Joe What did Rexon say?
