Great idea. Nice job on the insert. Very functional.

Cool!

I notice the blade is offset from the center of the insert. Did you have any trouble with the saw/insert trying to lift out of the table top?

Gret idea

but how do you turn it on and off with the trigger being under the table?

good tip … I used to have a setup like this

Thanks guys! Lew, suprisingly enough, I’ve had no problem at all with lifting. It is quite smooth with minimal vibration. Yosoybyrd, the on off trigger has a lock. I engage the lock when I screw it in to the insert and plug it into my paddle switch.

Thanks LJ’s! The good thing about something like this is it’s cheap and easy to make. A good use for scraps. I can’t remember where the idea came from but it has come in handy a couple of times.
