Well done. That switch is something else.

Nice job. PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE SWITCH?

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

Not much to say about the switch.. it came with the saw.. it’s just a basic toggle switch inside. I’m not sure who makes it.. I bought the saw off of my Boss, and he picked it up from a local supplier in town. I just ran out and checked.. It’s made by a company called ReiTech. (http://www.reitech.com/products/controls.asp) Mine is 120V, which Limits me to going 240V on my saw.. I’m not sure if I can convert it or not. I’m really happy with it. One easy kick, and it’s off :)

-- But honey.. this new power tool will pay for itself when we re-do the kitchen!

Nice stand .
That should take the rumble out of the cuts for you.

Great Solution. Thank you for sharing.

Color me green! I am currently working on the design for a workstation for my new old table saw and I could sure appreciate the free 30 mm MDF. As it is, I think mine will probably be 3/4” ply.

Just out of curiosity, how high does that put the table of your saw? I have been researching table saw heights and have found everything from 34” to 42”. Is there a standard height for table saw tables? Does it depend much on the operator’s height?

Hey EEngineer..

I built my last one out of 3/4” MDF and it worked great. You could always double up the sheets to increase the weight.. my belief is that if it’s nice and heavy it will kill the vibration.

As for the height.. My Opa’s old 9” beaver came to me with a height of 37” and I just got used to it.. where as My boss just picked up a new Sawstop, and it’s at 34”.. He threw it on a couple of 2×4’s to raise it up because it was more comfortable for him.. I like to think of it like a kitchen cabinet.. a comfortable height to you is what is most important.

When it came time to build this new stand, I made the table height at 37-38” inches. One, it was comfortable for me to use, and second, by raising the height, and keeping my outfeed table at the same height, if I cut anything longer than 8’ it will clear the countertop of my cabinets at the end of the garage (36”) for that odd time it happens… The picture of my shop (under My Workshop) has a pic of my Opa’s old 9” beaver (loved that saw) and my garage. The pics a little old..but.. you get the idea ;)

I got the idea from Bink’s Woodworking page (which he got from Wood Magazine)
