trying to build cheap machines
Hi Lumberjocks.
For about 2 months i've been sharing a workshop with Andrius Sta, who i met thanks to lumberjocks!
We are still trying to arrange the shop, and we use eachothers tools. Which is great to share eachothers knowledge.
I bought a cheap, about 80 dollar mini tablesaw a while ago, and thought about demolishing it and putting it under a better table.
Had some boards left and decided to use them as table. I'm still thinking about laying a aluminum sheet on top, it's still in progress.
before;
after;
only the saw under table
I used an old table clamp upside down as a lift, which works really nice. the saw rests on the moving clamp part.
to tighten and fixate the saw, there is one bolt that i extended to the side of the table.
Also made this mdf mitersaw table with extended fence
It was alot of work getting it all square, and i used some sandpaper underneath parts here and there to level everything
Thanks for reading!
