wanted finish saw today went out on long errand this Am
. than got sidetracked fixing another cooks mess ( axle supports ) So I intergraded and improvised. . Here is a few pics so far . Computer crapped out I had a draft written but lost it ..... so ya get bullet point version
As far as leg supports was gona just add oak 4x4 add arch profile and be done and over with it . Well than I got thinkin and rem a nice hunk of T6 alum from scrap yard that would be perfect to finish base supports. Here's a coffee break first draft and than my change lol... ohh got to try out my new compound slider for table saw . On one of the forums one fella was askin if you can cut alum on table saw . The answe is Yup Bc I have a crappy delta and the shaft / blade runs out ... Anyways well here ya have it 1-1/2 x5 inch alum sliced and diced . Dont furget safey glasses on this one.... check out thse ole school 80's glasses found in tool box .
Well Not bad with a junky saw and a <60T blade . Slow and steady works like charm . Im sure when I get my 80T blade work even better.
So thats about it topped off with a nice lunch by the Mrs . I o I o my break is over need to finish drilling / tapping mounting screws and add angles to base with base archway and be done and over with the mods pt this dang thing back together already. Btw I tried out the new mill and its slows me down up and down up and down (limited quill travel ) now I dunno im realy thinkin considering the getting the next size mill . Was just able to pull off a 5/16 -18 taping operation. But had to finagle a bit to do it. Doesnt seem to have adequate toque even low speed with the magic Juice too ..
