Thread: Neanderthal cut off saw update

    Neanderthal cut off saw update

    Another woodworker thought I was joking. I have found this a great solution for a cut off saw in my shop.

    I see permanent chop saw stations with 16 feet of counter space - no thanks.

    I can put this in a suitable position for the job at hand. I can fold it and lean it in a corner.

    I can take it out to fix the fence. Recently built a garage for the John Deere - no power needed.

    Late at night no noise. No fine dust in the air.

    Works for me and I'm no total Neanderthal - cnc and all in my shop.

    Nice way to get a lot of utility from a miter box.

    I might just steal that idea!

    I have the exact same miter box. Is the mobile base sturdy? It seems like it would rock back and forth in the direction of saw travel.
    Sharp solves all manner of problems.

    Not something I had a problem with - a little movement but cuts fine

    Whoa, this is an idea I've been kicking around for a while! Just might have to do this now...

    I like it! An 8 point saw would be nice, too.

    I just checked on that stand, and it's marked down to 149, from 199.
