Mike asked about my little portable table saw so here it is.
I have really just wanted to be able to make a few things size specific to my rig like the end table and some better “crates” for storage and pantry. It’s not meant for heavy use but does a great job on 1x material and plywood. All the materials came from Home Depot. -Including the 1/2 inch Oak used for the fence and miter gauge.
I used a router and made a recess the exact size of the saw base plate and blade set square to the face. This allowed for more blade depth too. The saw is held in place with three brackets cut from the same 1/8 x 3/4 bar stock used for the miter gauge. I used a router to cut the channel for the miter gauge as well.
The only part that wasn’t made with either hand tools or portable power tools was that I welded the 1/4-20 studs for the miter gauge to a piece of bar stock.
It was a pretty cheap little project to make. It’s light and takes up little room. Too, I got a scream’n deal from ACE Hardware on the pair of little saw horses for something like $14.95.
