I'm trying to increase the rip capacity of my General International 50-200R tablesaw (now known as the Magnum MI 51-100), which currently maxes out at 30 inches. It seems like finding compatible parts can be a bit tricky. How adaptable are the cast iron wings and rails? Are they similar to a Biesemeyer fence, where some tweaks could make another fence work, or are they proprietary and require specific Magnum parts? Also, does anyone know where I might find these pieces? I haven't come across them yet, but it's always worth asking! Thanks a lot!

I'm curious too! Why do you need more than 30" for ripping? Just wondering what kind of projects you're tackling.
Most people look for extra capacity for making cabinets, especially when you're dealing with sizes over 30" for cabinet sides. I'm just a hobbyist, but with my new home needing updates, I want to be prepared for bigger projects. I’ve tried using a track saw with guides before, but having a tablesaw with more capacity would really help!
