I have a potential job coming up that will require multiple grooves cut into about 50 boards, 3' long. This may become a somewhat recurring task. I'm a one man operation, so to minimize the travel around the saw to maneuver each board on the outfeed, I'd like to come up with some method to have boards self stack off the outfeed. Maybe not the whole 50 board job, but be able to stack some meaningful number of boards to significantly reduce the time to cut those grooves.
I googled around and found this page with a very clever adaptation of a hydraulic lift table. I don't quite know exactly how he has rigged the cable to manipulate the hydraulics on the table and he doesn't go into specifics. I guess the cable pulls on a valve to release pressure?
So, the request to the collective is what other examples and ideas might you know of to solve this need?
Thanks for your help on this!
