A table with special holes is a convenient option for securing a hand-held circular saw of a certain diameter.
The design has a number of obvious advantages. She is makes it possible to perform a much larger amount of work with minimal effort and with excellent accuracy.
Stationary positioning of a complex instrument allows you to provide a high level of security for personnel and increase the service life of the device.
A homemade table for a hand-held circular saw is advantageous for use in cases where the volume of work is not so large and it makes no sense to acquire special equipment. The cost of the device, often made from improvised materials, is much lower than an industrial product.
We will tell you how to make the right table with your own hands.
What should be a table for a circular saw
The complexity and danger of the work to be done on a makeshift table for a circular saw, involves primarily concern for the strength of the device, its resistance to multidirectional loads.
IMPORTANT! Circular saw during operation causes significant vibration, its power is quite large. Therefore, when designing, you should first consider the issues of sustainability.
Other important features of the device include the following parameters.
- Smooth work surface, the presence of fences.
- Accessibility of controls, especially the ability to quickly turn off the power.
- The presence of all the devices necessary for high-quality and productive work. Namely: a parallel emphasis, a square, the carriage, devices for lighting, for cleaning the workplace of chips and dust.
The main task for the cutting table is to make high-quality transverse and longitudinal cuts of materials from different types of wood: hard (oak, ash), soft (linden, pine).
At the same time, the possibility of high-performance work is important, especially in suitable conditions - on a construction site, in a garage or in a barn.
Materials and tools for manufacturing
For the manufacture of the frame is usually used a metal corner or a profile pipe made from carbon steel bonds. A bar made of strong wood, especially oak, ash, maple, is great. High quality glued materials also provide good stability on various surfaces and resistance to stress.
Requirements for the working surface include resistance to bending, the presence of a smooth smooth surface, sufficient slippage. therefore it is often made of particleboard, MDF or metal sheet.
Fasteners for both saw and accessories are preferably stainless. Power supply devices must be operational.
How to make a table for a circular saw
Having prepared everything you need, you can begin to work.
Table details, their sizes, drawings
A hand-held circular saw mounted on a table must be mounted securely and firmly. Respectively, tabletop made of stiff material. If it is a wooden plate, its thickness should be at least 20 mm for low-power devices.
The length and width of the structure are selected taking into account the characteristics of operation and saw parameters. For a device with a power of up to 1.2 kW, 1000x600 mm is usually sufficient.
The height of the structure should be comfortable for work. It adapts to a specific artist, this is approximately 650-650 mm.
The hole for the saw is placed with an offset to the right side in width and in the center along the length. To install and fasten the parallel stop and square, make the appropriate grooves in the countertop.
Assembly
First, the base of the product is made.
Important! If a metal corner or profile pipe is used, reliable and robust welding should be ensured.
After welding, clean and paint the product. The wooden structure is fastened with bolts, self-tapping screws, and other devices.
The table top is usually attached to the base with bolts, the heads of which are recessed relative to the level of the working surface.
Useful Tips
- It is recommended to take care of good desktop lighting.
- Lamps are installed on the front right, at a sufficient height.
- The table is mounted on a flat surface. Its preparation should be taken care of in advance.
