Thank you all for the very detailed, valuable and fast responses. I really appreciate it!! I am a young woodworker (20) and sell various projects in my spare time. I am considering turning my hobby into a full-fledged business after or even during my studies. I was born and live in the Netherlands 
, but I am currently spending 6 months in Canada for an internship at a company that builds log cabins. I have only been on this platform for a week and I am already impressed by the helpful community here!!
About my original question: I want to convert the saw into a long, fixed workbench with a guide and a length stop. How does this work then in combination with the guide of a radial arm saw?
(the radial arm saw is 220/230 volts, second hand)
