Saw Station

[Bahco]

I am interested in making a Saw station for my chop saw and want it complete with fences and stops etc.
I remember Norm making one on New Yankee Workshop but that was a long time ago and I don't know where to start.

Anyone ever made one or could you point me in the right direction please.

You can get NYW plans Brimarc used to list them but I can't see them on their site now

Or ask on this forum, there are a few who have build a similar setup

what exactly did it allow you to do!!
what saw do you have

length stops can be made with hook end battens and clamps a bit off 15mm copper and a bit off 2x1" with a17mm hole and a 3.2mm extended slot to allow the hole to close around the copper with a squarehead mini coach bolt and wing nut

Loads more on the 'tube

Can also be found on Discovery Realtime/Discovery Shed, if you have sky/cable TV

"and remember to wear these, your safety glasses"

Is NYW still on Discovery as I have not seen it for ages.

If you have times that it is on.................

i dont have sky or cable and would never consider them as i dont like sport films cartoons soaps house makeover programs shopping chanels or most things american as the people are mostly plastic and unreal lol

a lot off the practices that "norm " uses are bad practice and encourages use off ungaurded blades and check shirts
i would probably enjoy "norm" as i am still learning

 

[Deluks]

The yanks all walk around with loaded guns so probably don't recognise the dangers of unguarded saw blades.

I'm sure you've never done it though

ssshhhh i cant remember where i put it

we need to start with the safe correct way then push the safety bounderies

if you start at a dangerous level people will still push the bounderies as they dont know there starting level isnt a safe level

BA, this is the chop saw station, think I'd rather have one of teh ready made jobs than lug that lump about

And you can see what one of norms programmes is like as they stream them on the NYW site

[gregers]

yep big all,that is 1 thing that used to make me smile.

the safety guards have been removed for photographic purposes only.

bu*ls*it it was so he could do all the rebates and dado groves using his table saw.
