   I've got a small Dewalt that you can do that on. But it's the only table saw I've used that that is possible on and it has pretty limited capacity. So I'm guessing the answer to that question is saw specific.

   Watch the CG, if you get it too far off center it will want to tip.

   You might think about a leg of some sort under the table ends.

   If it tips over it'll be nasty.

   Grant is guessing right, it depends on what saw. The older Craftsman had tube rails that bolted to the table thru holes in the tubes. Those could be scooched over, but sometimes you needed to drill and tap new holes in the table or wings.

   I had an AMT that I modified by swapping a Cast Iron wing out for a wood router table top, and I had to move the fence guides to do that, I think it was just two new holes.  Cast iron is real easy to drill and tap if you have to.

   Yes. I've done it. On an old tube style Craftsman saw. I think I did it on my 9" delta too.
