Re: Vertical table
That's a great design!? My vertical table is only about 2.5 x 2.5", which is usually all I need, but extra real estate would come in handy from time to time. -Dave

Re: Base casting measurements?
If that handle is still floppy, that will be the thing that gets you the most unexpected way. As the saw goes over forward,? the handle folds down allowing even more uncontrolled forward flipping

Re: Vertical table
How about a table that converts from horizontal to vertical in one second? I pirated this idea many years ago and love it when needed. Sent: Friday, April 1, 2022 2:44 PM To: [email protected]

Re: Vertical table
Here's a simple one, that I found on the net somewhere, and made, other than the corner chopped off. That's to clear the vise if you leave it on all the time, which I don't. Not hing fancy, but it

Hello, Would anyone happen to have plans to build a vertical table? Photo's of custom tables would work too.

Re: Base casting measurements?
There is a pin on mine near the hinge point on the left side that locks the top to be body. I Always use that and have yet to have a scare. I've forgotten lots of other things but not this one...yet.

Re: Base casting measurements?
That's the blades I use. I cut a lot of stainless, as well as alloys like 4140Q&T. The Lenox blades hold up better than any I've used. I did use Irwin's bi-metal blades for a while, since they were

Re: Base casting measurements?
Ya, I had it almost do the backflip on me once, now I always hold the top with one hand and the handle with the other when I move it. I got it on Fleebay but as mentioned if you order it from Jet it

Re: Base casting measurements?
Looks good Terry But Jims right, it WILL backflip on you, esp if you move it with the sawframe vertical. You'll tell yourself you'll never do it, but there will be that one time when you just need to

Re: Base casting measurements?
It looks great, and I'm sure it's a lot sturdier than the original equipment, *but*...that saw is still ready to do a backflip if you lose control of the arm when you raise it.

Re: Base casting measurements?
I kept looking at making something up but just never seemed to find the time, this was a great compromise. BTW, I find these blades are fantastic with our little saws, they work great on all materials

Re: Base casting measurements?
Got the new stand today and it mounted right up, it's a big improvement over my original paper thin unit. You can't imagine the joy I felt throwing that old POS stand in the trash! Thanks for the

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
The motor on my Harbor Freight 4 x 6 lasted about 2 years, but it saw quite a bit of use in that time.? Rather than buy a new motor I put the money toward a Grizzly swivel base saw like you Bill and

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
I think any of the companies selling low costs saws out there, with China made motors, cheat. There are different grades of cheating, but they cheat. Back to you get what you pay for, and they are

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Glad to hear it cuts well George. Your 1HP motor will never heat up on a 4x6, as its only running at 1/3 to 1/2 the load the motor is capable of. You'd think that Consumer Guarantee legislation would
