Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch TS1003 Table Saw Left Side Support Extension
Customer Review: Does a great job but an obvious design flaw
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently installed this left side support on my Bosch 4000 Jobsite Table Saw. Installation was a breeze and it is an essential add-on. The only problem is that the new right side extension release/lock mechanism installed on the saw, when in the locked position, prevents the left extension from going fully into the closed position. It is necessary to move the orange lever to about a 30 degree position to fully close the left extension.Customer Review: Functionally great, but with defects
Summary: 4 Stars
My left side support arrived with the threads missing from one of the support rods. It appears to have been misformed during the machining process. I had to contact Amazon for a replacement, which they promptly sent out at their expense. They also paid for return shipment of the defective unit.
Others have noted that they shimmed the inside mount slightly to compensate for droop. There is a bit of adjustment in the support arm itself- allowing you to adjust it up by a 16th or so.
Here's a tip: If you purchase the rear support as well, you'll notice that the aluminum support brackets are tapped and include a 'set screw' which is useful to lock the position of the support both for transport, and during use. For some reason, the left support does not include this feature. I picked up a similar thumb screw/ set screw from my local hardware store and added the same functionality to my left side support. Just drill a hole in the thickest part of the aluminum support, and tap threads into it. Now screw in your thumbscrew. No more accidental openings during transport.
Customer Review: Close to a Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
The Left Side Support extension is everything it is supposed to be. Solid, heavy, a good general fit, and with thoughful design features which make it a 'natural'accessory. Marginally off horizontal at full extension (slightly below table level), I temporarily compensated with (gulp) a 1/4" Duct Tape longitudional strip as a 'shim' on the outer arm top (nice and easy to instal, stays put, and is 'slippery'). I'll get around to a better solution with a washer or two on the mount bracket (maybe). I think this Support Extension is just about a must have, and is well enough constructed to be worth the price paid.Customer Review: Close to a Must Have

This side extension is very worth the money. It's easy to install and works smoothly. It does droop a bit so may need some washers on the far bolts to level it out.If you have the Bosch 4000, you should have this side extension.
