Does it cut well... oh yes indeed :)

Be right back... (Had to find a way to flip the images, did it at my end.)

There's not so much to show of the saw itself, it's tucked away...

We learned a lot about vises.. We had to move our's to the right side to make it work, cut it down, repositioned, added more support, laminated the third rail guides between the back jaw and the...

Used one of these...

Before the tensioner..

Out of interest, because I think I'm a few mm too think, what material for the top would you use and how thick ?

It took us a while, but we came up with a working solution...

There were a few skateboard bearings lying around and we're still tweaking the fixings as it's fouling on the wheel...

So we soldiered on, made a few mistakes along the way but, like anything father and son, it's the journey that we value.

We removed he splitter mount to make room for the motor on the table saw...

That sander is lovely :)

My son and I discussed it and that's what we came to believe. Problem was the table design didnt leave us enough room to fit it as the adjustable deck for the table was too large and the belt would...

We've succumb to creating our own belt tensioner. It's nothing unusual for us as we race RC cars that are belt driven. And with most things, you learn from mistakes. From what I know now, I would...

Wish I could edit the original post, it's an 8" saw with a 7/14 blade on it atm and the saw blade itself is using a ring to shim out the spindle diameter... now to find a correct 8" blade for it.

We're getting close but the motor mounting has me stumped. Do the belt driven tables have belt tensioners or side on a movable mount. Because if I raise the saw, I'll add tension to the belt. If I...

Almost certain I liked the post.. oh well, here's to let you know I did :) Not sure what we've got ourselves into, but it's a lot of fun!

Lot of head scratching, we're getting there... Having the adjustable deck helps, but there was a miscalculation on the belt and motor position.

I'm an IT guy, before I studied programming, I gave it a go at the hobby level to see if it was something I could enjoy. Because we all know, it's not the good times that matter, it's the...

Working on the table at the moment... floating saw bed and a sliding motor bed... so any belt will do :)

later would love some guidance on blade guards

Having fun with the son!

PS: ...

My son wants to consider cabinetry as a career and I suggested he try his hand at at before he commits to it. Sent him off to look at buying a new Makita and he came back empty handed. Two days...
