Hi Everyone
While searching for a new power switch for this machine (different thread), I got to thinking.....I'm not a big fan of the played metal legs this puppy sits on. The dust shoot sucks as well.
Can I make my own base for this machine our of 2x and plywood similar to the enclosed base designs on more robust jointers? I could then mount an aftermarket power switch completely isolated from an saw dust that the machine creates. I can also incorporate a better dust shoot that the open stand currently provides.
Has anyone done this?? Any ideas you can share?
TIA
George
