<p>This item is not intended to be a "print and ready" one, it is just for inspiration.</p> <p>Feel free to download the various parts for this build for your own small table saw.</p> <p>The table saw was built using:</p> <ul> <li>Various custom made 3d printed parts (duh..)</li> <li>some scrap wood</li> <li>some pieces of 15x15mm aluminium rod (for fence)</li> <li>an old Pfaff sewing machine motor (80W, 6000RPM)</li> <li>a AC motor speed controller</li> <li>2 GT2 pulleys and a GT2 belt loop</li> <li>M8 threaded rod and aluminium rod for the blade height adjustment</li> <li>A 10mm rod as blade axle and 2 10mm bearings (pic says skate bearing = not correct!)</li> <li>80mm cutting blade with 10mm hole</li> <li>some other misc. things and pieces..</li> </ul> <p>It was a bit tricky to get the maximum cutting height out of this setup.</p> <p>The blade only measures 8cm and the top is 18mm thick.</p> <p>I thried to "thin out" the bearing blocks as much as possible and also</p> <p>routed out some parts of the top lid where the axle/bearing blocks would hit</p> <p>I managed to get 15mm maximum cutting heigth, pretty good :-)</p> <p>The fence is a joy to operate, the handle clamps when pushed down, loosens when</p> <p>pulled up again.</p> <p>To get is exactly square with the blade, i drilled one of the mounting holes of the</p> <p>sliding bar (on which the cm are displayed) slighty bigger. This little movement should</p> <p>be enough to square it out. You can also use a little piece of paper in the fence block</p> <p>behind the fence itself.</p> <p>The M8 axle of the blade height adjustment is moved to the bottom of the enclosure,</p> <p>which was mandatory. The crank cannot spin unless to put the saw on the edge of a</p> <p>table.</p> <p>NOTE:</p> <p>Although i'm albe to cut wood just fine with the 80W motor, it is still a bit weak</p> <p>and need to slow down often when feeding stock material.</p> <p>Choose a stronger motor if you can</p> Category: Machine Tools
