REQUIRED:-

 24" x 18" x 3/8" plywood panel

24" x 8" x 3/8" panel

2 off 6” x 2” steel plate

555559 Drill and tap set

 Here are some instructions to make this item 

The aim was to use 521651 Support table parts and make my own short modified table which does not rely on any form of floor rested support bar.

The table which is attached to the main table and the design of the brackets allow the table to hinge down when not required and lock to the table when required.

To make this you will need to attach steel bars (Power Pro jig bars) to the 521651 brackets. The flat steel needs to be drilled and tapped for ¼" x 20 threads and then attached them to the brackets. Then once positioned mark out the place to drill and tap hole to be able to use a bolt to connect to tapped hole in the rear of the main worktable. As the table is a fixed item and the brackets are now locked to it the support table follows the movements of the main table.

You just now need to cut any excess steel away from the bars, round the corners and then paint.

Item all finished and working.

Rear table projection is about 30cm behind the back of the sawblade which I think gives adequate support for most day to day items cut.

This does away with all the floor support arrangements on old designs.
