One of the most useful bits of kit in my workshop

Just ran onto these 2 photos in my Archives. I'd published them in the boat section of RCGroups some years back. Shown is the start of my "Bouncie II". I used this method in my "Bunker Boat" too.

Having been blessed sinistral 👍, here is my unsanforized version table saw. The nice walnut box is tall enough so when on my workbench I don't have to stoop.

How about reversing the rotation of the motor and put the blade on to match the new rotation. Yahoo, you now have a hybrid right hand table saw.

That looks like a really useful bit of kit EdW.

I make all of my stripping and triangular shaped strip on my bandsaw, but your miniature saw table will be able to cut smaller sections and to a much finer tolerance's.

.......and it will take up a lot less space too!

Ed, that's a great idea, and sometimes left handed is good.
Some tools just feel better left handed. I struggle with my right handed mitre saw.
Thank you for sharing, cheers Colin.

It was built from a sketch which has long since disappeared. I will make a proper drawing and make it available to the members.

I wonder if anyone noticed, it was built for a left handed person.😁

Ed,
I am sure you will really enjoy being able to cut precision strips with that machine.
I did notice the fine adjustment knob for the fence.
Enjoy, and post some pictures of it in operation.

That's a very well engineered piece of machinery. Do you have any drawings, I would love to build one myself.
Cheers Colin.

My miniature table saw uses slitting saw blades. I have cut 1mm x 3mm planks on it. It was started buy my father for a friend who passed away and then passed onto me. I finished the saw and used it a couple of times. Now that I have returned to building model boats, it will be seeing a lot more use.
