This is how all of my sub bases are. There is a small amount of play in the mounting screws. WHen using a centering cone, everything lines up to the...

When I say things like "the tablesaw isn't dangerous, it's the operator" This is what I mean

Well said, How big will your box be when all done or should I say, how many chisels will it hold?

No regulations or mandate is gonna stop stupid. The is just no point in doing this at all.
