madman_us Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I own a Porter Cable 10" 15Amp Stationary Table Saw PCB270TS base is ok, but those casters they just suck, barely swivel.my plan is over the winter, do build a mobile stand for the table saw, with build-in router table.something similar to the 2nd picture. just found it on the internet.also gonna add a 4" dust port. first pic is my table saw!

madman_us Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Isn't that standard nowadays? The micro adjustment feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Nice saw Madman! maybe by micro adjust chad is talking about the way that the dewalt fence is on a gear system.. you unlock it and turn a knob to move the fence right or left, it allows for very easy fine tuning as opposed to unlocking the fence and tapping or moving it with your hands. here is a few pics of my setup. i work onsite so i have to be able to break everything down and store/transport it in my trailer. this breaks apart into 3 pieces and then those 3 pieces can fold up or disassemble even further. when using the router i remove the table saw fence and drop the blade. i do the same to the router table when using the table saw or track saw. i dont always set this whole thing up, it needs to make sense for the job the only thing that cant be used by itself is the table saw stand, but if im only making a few cuts and have no need for the router table i just setup the table saw on the ground or horsessince these pictures i have made a few small tewaks but nothing major.. made a shelf for under the router table, swapped the ridgid vac for a festool Midi are the main 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 that makes sense NER with the fine adjustment - didn't know that its running on a gear.my PC fence runs on those black bearings or roller you can see in the picture. That kinda sucks when saw dust is building up on your saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yours looks like a smart set up too man.Specifically for job sites.You use a cyclone? I can see under your table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I just looked up the dewalt 744. I really like the fence idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks for that clarification ner, I like your setup. Is that an actual Festool router table or was that something u put together from one of the mft tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 thats a nice feature on the porter cable fence.. i didnt know it had that, my last bosch didnt have anything for micro adjust. yup, its the metal dust deputy mounted to a custom box that works with my systainers.. oneida sells something exactly like this (ultimate dust deputy) but i already owned the cyclone part so i just made the box http://www.oneida-air.com/inventoryD.asp?item_no=AXD001002&CatId={2C6BB449-99F9-4CB9-BC27-CAF1BB570002} i really only break it out for the router table/table saw setup since they make a lot of shavings/dust and that fills the bags on my vacs very quick.. i can fill this box before there is a handful of dust in the vac! i also use it if im doing a lot of drywall sanding so the fine dust doesn't clog the vac filter or bag.

madman_us Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Ya those cyclones are a smart idea. But i would never pay that kinda money for it. I bought all the parts to build my own clear cyclone dust separator for 4" pipes. I'll start a thread for it as soon as i start the project 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmikez Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 No MM I use my cousins Dewalt 744 and he lets me barrow whenever I need it but I do need to get my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 great cousin I would borrow tools just to certain people - because not everyone has respect for a borrowed tool - or they bring it back and its broken and damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah I don't even let the wife borrow tools. She borrows them and then it takes me a month to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
