munzieb Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 My EX-16 cutting deck was getting tired looking and the vacuum holes were a pain. Several previous postings have suggested using a magnet sheet as an upgrade. My wife found a 5' x 24" sheet on Amazon for $26. For that price, why not. I took off the original deck and traced it out on the magnet sheet and cut it out with a utility knife and cut out the hole for the saw blade and laid it on the original deck. Waxed it up and it works like a champ! If it wears out, I have enough for plenty of replacements! lawson56, Tomanydogs, OCtoolguy and 6 others 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzarkSawdust Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Is this it? Is it a strong magnet, or have you been cutting on it yet? Specifications for this item OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Is your table steel? My Hegners are aluminum but could be attached with double sided tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxfold Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I have one too. I use it when I really need a zero clearance. They work great. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
