A Table Saw!!!!!????? YIKES! Not necessary, at all, IMO! Most
conversions are done, using Euro/Asian style Butts & Flanges, where a
piece of wire holds them in place. As for the dampers?.....It don't
matter how they are held or by what. The European Damper Flanges are
smaller than the U.S. type and can be adapted quite easily to the rail.
HOWEVER....if all the tabs on the rail are intact, why go to all of that
fuss? Simply Anneal the original rails and install new brass plates and
be done with it! Sheesh! (I've done it many ways, so don't tell me I
know not of what I speak, as each way has it's foibles. <G>)
