Make the electrical connections for the switch and radisl its mount on the top of the saw arm. See the second and third photos. Remove it with an Allen wrench from beneath the yoke. See the second graphic.

The back table is bolted to the unistrut the bolts are hidden under the toggle clamps The table needs a "skin" sacrificial top The table with a 9mm plywood skin screwed in sacrificial top. I could not find 6mm ply, it would probably have less risk of buckling. Next time I will use brass screws. According to feedback on the forum, I need to have boards between the fence and the back table to improve the fence's rigidity and to make it possible to expand the table area for ripping.

So I'll have to cut the back table. I will work on that next! Then the job of aligning the table will start! I have a large dewalt ras I am making a table for now. I love the struts you built. Good work. Can't believe you didn't get more comments and kudos. Jim — Manteca. CA, USA. I have one of these saws that belonged to my dad. Was thinking about selling it due to it's size, power demands uses but can be changed to v and lastly the top needed rework. Seeing what you've done has changed my mind and given me guidance on how to do.

Thanks much. Lee — Washington. Subject: Countersink holes looking awful. The way to get smooth looking countersinks using a hand drill is to do away with the multi-flute countersinks they set up a vibration, especially at high rpms and are mostly intended for rigid operations involving a milling machine or drill press and get a single flute Ford brand. Then slow your RPM down to about Use moderate pressure.

Not too light or you will dull the tool, and not too heavy to cause splitting or cracking. Practice on a scrap piece of the same wood you will be working on, as different types of wood behave differently when being c'sunk. You may want to also c'sink the hole locations before drilling. This gives more resistance to the point of the c'sink for a smoother finish and the c'sink hole will be a guide for the drill to follow for accuracy.
