STARCnc There is one for 12”-14” blades in my shed to be built to the end. It has to be very sturdy, has a heavy steel frame, uses a straight guide which the angle can be adjusted for straight cuts, the blade is shifted as far back and left as possible and it’s driven by a 3HP motor. Bearings for the axle are high quality roller bearings. The table is made from wood which shows a lubricating effect is very sturdy and insect resistant (Ipil-Ipil) Lots of thinking forth and back went through my head because this the second machine I have built after a bandsaw. The bandsaw outperformes the tablesaw in many tasks greatly e.g. Power consumption, Thickness of cut. I decided to build my own stuff since I will get exactly the machine I am looking for. Think first over what you are looking for and what you are willing to do. |
