I've seen the sidebyside saws bolted together, even different brands bolted together.
Guess I've never cared for the concept.
Back when I did have 2 saws, I kept a dado on the lesser saw. My main saw did all the ripping and cross cutting, which it still does.

Geez, a PM 66 and a Unisaw in the same shop? Excuse me if I don't feel sorry for you!
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

How would I set up two tablesaws in my shop?
One on the top of the other.

Fred,
My 66 was free years back and the Uni was $290. Can you blame me?

But seriously, the only reason I bought a second saw was because switching between blades is becoming detrimental to my process now that I'm building for money. If it weren't for that I wouldn't even have considered a second saw.

Set up the crosscut saw as your out feed table for the ripping saw?

I'm thinking that but I think the Uni is about 1/4" taller than the 66. Once I clean the machine oil out of the mating surfaces (seller put it there to protect against rust) I'll get a good measure.
Semper fi,

Typical setups I've seen are side to side or back to back though nothing says you have to attach the two together.
