If you are like me, you might have an inexpensive (“cheap”) table saw that you use as a job site or backyard saw. If you don’t, you can pick one up for about $100 from most big box hardware stores. If you do have one, you will also know that these are not very well made. The deck of the saw is just fine and the motor will get the job done, but the fence system is another story. In addition to that, the size of the deck will limit the ability to cut pieces of any significant size.
Well, this clever handyman (Wooden Tool Man) came up with a simple design for a new table top along with a very simple, yet functional fence system that can’t help but stay square to your saw blade. As most of you know, a fence that is out of square does not lend itself to a nice looking finished project. I know that a few of you have probably developed techniques with the poor quality of the fence. How many reading this cut things a little proud since they know they will have some rather large swirl marks to remove? Hands down.
The following video runs through the building technique for the tabletop and fence. This is one that I will have to build myself. Thanks “Wooden Tool Man“.
