Rebuilt My Shop-Made Overhead Blade Guard

[Tom LaRussa]

After my little cascading plywood incident a few weeks ago I wound up moving my saw-router-planer station thingie over a couple feet. As a result, my shop-built overhead guard, which attached to the ceiling, no longer lined up with the TS correctly.

I finally got around to dealing with that issue today, as well as a couple other minor things. The overhead guard now attaches to the work station thingie and pivots, slides, and tilts just about anywhere I could conceivably want it to go.

Here is a pictorial of what I did.

Pretty innovative there, Tom! :) Nice solution, especially as having the ceiling mount would indeed tend to limit what you can do! Great solution! :cool:
