How to attach miter saw to flip top worktable?
(lemmy.world)
I've built the section of the table that flips. On the saw side, I have 1-1/2" to build up so the bed of the saw is flush with the rest of the table. How would you attach the saw so it's secure to flip upside down?
The top only has holes at the front, for inserting a side clamp.
Maybe bolt through the ends into a block underneath?
Yes, I would use machine bolts through those holes there. You may want to install some one-by underneath, but you can probably get away with just the plywood if you use a fender washer on the underside. I would also recommend a washer under the head of the bolt.
Yeah, I inherited this one free, but had planned to get a new one when I set out on this project.
I like the idea of u bolts, that seems better than attaching to an extra wood block.
