    I wish I had a decent table saw to play with.
    So I guess I shouldn't tell you how much (or more to the point how little) this saw owes me...

    The only other mod I have done is replace the fence with one from a late model Hafco table saw. Good old machine. Thanks for the detailed story and photos.

    Just realized that they were nearly exactly a year apart, pure coincidence I swear! It took a little while to make the new setup as life is pretty busy then broke my foot and hadn't had a chance to test it. Put it through it's paces recently and that is what reminded me.

    Have you any details on your fence replacement ? I have found that when cutting larger boards the last bit tends to wander as the fence is a little short.

    Cheers

When I got my machine the face the blade pulls up against was a convex shape due to wear from previous owner and as I was in a hurry I just mounted the whole assembly between centres and refaced it to get me away. They only problem that I have had is trying to align the blade parallel to the mitre bar slot. When I pull it apart next, I will mount a couple of side adjusting screws, to make it easier.

    ahhhhhhhhh... dont do that!!! (reface the collars flat).

    Saw Collars are supposed to be concave! Though having said that they do occasionally - like every couple of thousand hours - need to be machined but you should be trying to hold the concave curve.

    Page 3 will be of interest to ya. Yeah I know they're talking big saws but the principal is true regardless of size, though obviously not as critical on tablesaws since the forces applied are much less.

    Just sayin'

    You need to clean the sawdust off your reading glasses John, LOL. I said Convex, i.e. it was only gripping by the little bit at the spindle. I did reface it to a Concave shape.
    As for the photos, we will have a short delay, there is this strange wet stuff coming down in Brownsville, so I can't untarp it, but I will do it, it was a good mod.

    Caught a break between showers, so here is the front, front side and back side views.Needled to use some 40X40X6 aluminium angle to mount the front and back of the fence system to the cast iron. For the front I replaced the original bolts with countersunk ones I knocked up, to utilize the same mounts, which needed to be ground to get it at 90° to the mitre slot. For the back, not sure if it is clear, but I needed to make a spacer between the angle and the table top, used some machining plastic and countersunk bolts and shimmed it to get it parallel to the front. Works real good and locks down at the back quite well. Was worth every cent I spent.
