Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

I did get a chance to cut some 2x4 and 2x6 using my 10" miter and 7 1/4" circular saws while building my saw horses. I had a view of how really useful a table saw can be specially when I wanted to rip a 2x6x10 into 2 pcs 2x3x10.

Anybody had a chance to procure a table saw already? Joey?

Thanks

if you buy the GMC saw I posted I think you'd be better off putting that under a table. The GMC is VERY HEAVY, so much that personally I would not want to use it as a portable. Don't worry I I think I have at least 2 of them.

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig

Nice Joey. A few suggestions:

1. A wider slot for when you set the blade at an angle. A removable piece would be nice but is not absolutely necessary.
2. A taller fence, mine is about 4" inches high.
3. An end piece attached to the fence that overhangs the farther edge of the table and is true to the table will make setting the fence a lot easier.
4. Hinging your table top so it can swing up from the frame will make making adjustments to the saw for height and angle easier.
5. For miter cuts consider using a sled instead of fence. The sled can be guided by one (or both) of the tables side edges. This way you don't need to make slots in the table. Also a sled is much more stable and thus accurate than a miter fence.
6. Lastly, cover the (plywood) table edges with hardwood edging for better wear and tear.

@ joey - where'd you see the GMC router table?

Anyway, just like lncc63, my first (and still is) router table was a custom one. made out of steel and 3/4" steel I had a shop weld. the router plate is 3/16" junkshop-sourced steel plate machined for the center hole and the router mounting holes. filled the low spots, treated the rust and painted.

It's still ok for small pieces but for "long" ones, I don't really use it as it is because the middle has started to sag. If anybody's interested I might post a scanned page/s from my woodworking book illustrating several router table projects, and some jigs.... when I get home. Coz I don't bring it along with me. 😉
