Unisaw tops interchangeable? - imapseudonym - 12-17-2018
Anybody know whether the tops (the central part, not just the wings) are interchangeable on Unisaws from various ages? Particulary interested in older (roughly pre 1990's) versions.

I don't remember which ( and too lazy to get up and look), but some have the "t" ground into the miter slot and some don't.
Consider this a bump

See the attached URL for the differences in the old style top and the new. The new style top requires the new style front trunnion bracket for the top to fit correctly. The photo shows a modification that can be made to the new style table to allow it to fit a saw with the old style FTB.

Thanks! Very helpful.

the interchangeable tops answer is a qualified yes. It may take about 30 minutes to an hour of annoying fitting and grinding relief with an angle grinder, but its do-able.
