What is the best size and purpose for you to use a vertical cutting table?

Henry Member Profile All Messages By This Member #15414 Edited As the subject says, we are small bandsaw maker from Taiwan and just wondering what will be the best size and purpose for all of you to use the vertical cutting table? Below is the current design for our product RF-128, it is not so perfect for normal users like you guys, some of customer even says it is too soft, just a thin plate looks like funny thing... Size is about 24x24cm, a black color of thin plate install on the roller guide Support unit is underneath A bit curved if slight push it or have any small loading We would like to know what is your ideal dimension for this table?? and what tasks you often to do with this vertical table? Share with us your comments here!! Appreciate~~ #vertical table #RF-128 Vertical cutting #Vertical cutting table #4x6 vertical cutting
Steve Fikar All Messages By This Member #15415 I converted my saw to vertical use only and my table is permanently mounted. Because of that I placed the slot in front for blade removal. I use my saw for mostly cutting parts easily held by hand. I do use it to cut longer stock. I just use something to support the ends as needed. The table itself is 3/8" steel plate with a short apron on the sides, giving it the look and feel of small cast iron table if one might have been manufactured for such a saw.?

However, the flexibility in one plane would not be acceptable.? The ideal solution would be to make the table from die-cast aluminum.? However, that would be quite a bit more expensive.? ? But the flexibility of the steel plate version is easily fixed by making the un-bent plate a little longer and bending the front and rear ends down 90 degrees to match the two sides that are already done that way.? This would add four punch operations to remove a small rectangle from each corner and then two brake operations to bend the ends down.? And it would be slightly stiffer if you welded just the tips of the sides and ends together. ? The other improvement would be to make the brace that attaches the rear of the table to the saw frame from steel angle stock instead of bar.? This would be much stiffer. ?

Henry Member Profile All Messages By This Member #15417 Hi, Steve: Appreciate your share, with drawing is perfectly understand the size, do you cut longer stock very often? or just occasionally? if you can let me know the rough percentage will be perfect, tks!
Steve Fikar All Messages By This Member #15418 I would estimate 20% of the time I cut longer stock and,. like I said, in those cases I use a roller stand or something similar to support the ends. Given the overall size of this saw I would not change the size of my table if I had to do it over again. I'm very happy with it.
Ralph Hulslander #15419 Henry, I love the table held in the vice, no assembly required just put it in the vice, use the?table? then loosen the vice and remove the table horizontal?cuts.

John Vreede All Messages By This Member #15426 Hi Henry I love that the table is now put in from?the front, so there is no slot on the front side of the blade, like my old saws, but the HUGE gap at the sides of the blade is actually dangerous, as the offcuts of the small pieces I generally cut on the vertical table disappear?down that hole and try to drag my fingers with it! I use a piece of 5/8" thick melamine coated MDF as the table screwed to the lower guide assembly in place of the OEM table and the saw slot is cut in with the blade itself, so has minimum clearance at front and sides.? The MDF doesn't last that well before it starts to wear around the blade but its WAY better than OEM and lasts me 10yrs before I'm forced to make a new one (maybe next time I'll use some of that phenolic coated plywood in the picture?) I like it wide enough to the LHS of the blade to clamp a guide to and long enough in front and behind the blade?to support my work (rule in picture for scale - I like a bigger table than the old OEM). I don't like cutting steel sheetmetal?on the vertical table (unless its a curve, when I have no choice), because I've ripped the teeth out of the blade too often, so use at sub-table mounted on top of the vice jaws, where I can cut through at a good angle (see pic)? Likewise a mitre guide slot in the table is not much use to me, as the sub-table is easy to get any angle clamped right and sawn.
