10:40 if you remove the balance support completely, you can put the 1/2" leg against the fence and use the 1/4" leg to control the offcut side and this will give a rip capacity
of approximately 3"

11:16 for ripping 3" - to 5" put the balance support on the 1/2" leg against the fence

11:37 accessories

12:00 1/8" leg
13:18 typical installation is on outside of existing leg (but can also install by replacing one of the legs)

14:28 handle bridge kit

16:14 deflector connector

17:09 gravity heel kit
made to be cut
19:14 when cutting a piece where the offcut side isn't very big and there isn't enough material there for the green grip on the center leg to grab it gravity heel can be used to support it all the way through the cut

32:01 using it as a coping sled by mounting board to bottom

33:28 if using only a portion of bit and top of bit is higher than the top of the workpiece
