So the used bandsaw I bought does not have a slot for a miter gauge.
I'd like it to have it so I can do cross cuts every so often. I have a milling machine, and I can remove the heavy table (that likely weights 100lbs) and mill a slot into it for a miter gauge. It looks like the cast iron has at least 1/2" of "meat" on it so I could possibly mill a 1/2" wide slot 1/4" deep to allow me to use a miter gauge on the saw. But is there anything that can get me if I were to mill into the cast iron? Will the table warp if I attempt to machine it?
Or am I better off bolting an auxiliary table onto the saw table that has a miter gauge slot?
