DIY table saw

For those who haven't seen this yet. Makes fussing over flatness and 10,000ths seem silly.

An industrious fellow!

[Ray Newman]

Now that is interesting!

[Don Morris]

If I had all those tools, I guess I could do it too, but I don't.

[Mark Gibney]

That is a very cool saw build, and a really well made video. German engineering is alive and well.

Did anyone catch what the sheet material he used for the top was? It looked like metal of some type.

[Jim Dwight]

Looks like 1/4 inch plate steel.

Nice build but it also requires the motor/arbor set. I had a home made table saw at one point but it was not nearly as nice as this one.

I especially liked his "chop saw/circular saw conversion".

Wow, well I guess if youve got the time and youre into that sort of building. Personally Id rather just buy pre-built tools and build other things. These types of "building tools" videos are getting surprisingly popular on youtube.

Ben, I didn't get the impression that he built it to save money. He made the comment that this type of table saw was not easily available in Europe.

? I didnt mention anything about it being built for the purposes of saving money... I just mentioned the time spent doing it.

[Bruce Page]

Yeah, he did mention he spent a year building it.
It's still a pretty cool table saw if his trunnion design stays true.
