Give my new saw a lift

Hi Ron,

Congratulations on the nice find. For $500 you certainly got your money’s worth. Well done. Nice use of the lift as well. That is something that sure comes in handy at times.

Thanks for the post.

I like you dust collector system. COOL!!!

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

The dust collector is made from off the rack HVAC parts at home depot, I traced the stand outside Dims on a piece of sheet metal, cut that out and then traced out the 6”X10” vent location on the sheet, drilled a hole with my step bit to get my tin snips started and cut that out, the 6X10 vent had a high sholder on it, I cut down the corners and bent them to make a flange and screwed it to the sheet, then the sheet to the saw stand base. Now we added an adjustable elbow with a reducer to bring the pipe size down to 4 inches. My next step is to add a blast gate, then a T pipe that will go to the router table built in to the table saw unit, that will also have a blast gate so I can select the port with only one hook up to the machine.

WEAR GLOVES WHEN WORKING SHEET METAL!

Thanks for looking

I have the same saw, with an added 52” Beisemeyer fence and 24” outfeet table across the whole thing. You’re going to find this hard to believe, but when I moved last, I put the entire setup into the back of my pickup truck alone. I was motivated to get to our present place of residence…
