Re: Base casting measurements?
If that handle is still floppy, that will be the thing that gets you the most unexpected way.
As the saw goes over forward,? the handle folds down allowing even more uncontrolled forward flipping

Re: Vertical table
How about a table that converts from horizontal to vertical in one second? I pirated this idea many years ago and love it when needed.

Re: Vertical table
Here's a simple one, that I found on the net somewhere, and made, other than the corner chopped off. That's to clear the vise if you leave it on all the time, which I don't.

Hello,
Would anyone happen to have plans to build a vertical table? Photo's of custom tables would work too.

Re: Base casting measurements?
There is a pin on mine near the hinge point on the left side that locks the
top to be body.
I Always use that and have yet to have a scare. I've forgotten lots of

Re: Base casting measurements?
That's the blades I use. I cut a lot of stainless, as well as alloys like 4140Q&T. The Lenox blades hold up better than any I've used.
I did use Irwin's bi-metal blades for a while, since they were

Re: Base casting measurements?
Ya, I had it almost do the backflip on me once, now I always hold the top with one hand and the handle with the other when I move it.
I got it on Fleebay but as mentioned if you order it from Jet it

Re: Base casting measurements?
Looks good Terry
But Jims right, it WILL backflip on you, esp if you move it with the
sawframe vertical.
You'll tell yourself you'll never do it, but there will be that one time
when you just need to

Re: Base casting measurements?
It looks great, and I'm sure it's a lot sturdier than the original equipment, *but*...that saw is still ready to do a backflip if you lose control of the arm when you raise it.

Re: Base casting measurements?
I kept looking at making something up but just never seemed to find the time, this was a great compromise.
BTW, I find these blades are fantastic with our little saws, they work great on all

Re: Base casting measurements?
Got the new stand today and it mounted right up, it's a big improvement over my original paper thin unit.
You can't imagine the joy I felt throwing that old POS stand in the trash!
Thanks for the

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
The motor on my Harbor Freight 4 x 6 lasted about 2 years, but it saw
quite a bit of use in that time.? Rather than buy a new motor I put the

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
I think any of the companies selling low costs saws out there, with China made motors, cheat. There are different grades of cheating, but they cheat.

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
Glad to hear it cuts well George.
Your 1HP motor will never heat up on a 4x6, as its only running at 1/3 to 1/2 the load the motor is capable of.
You'd think that Consumer Guarantee legislation would

Re: Mysterious shift in saw alignment
John,
Long time lurker but had to respond to the motor issue. My HF saw is about 10 yrs old and the first motor lasted about18 months. Was in the middle of a project and had to go to Grainger

Re: Base casting measurements?
The first time I experienced the tip-over-backward tendency of my HF saw I set about to eliminate it much the way that John Vreede did.? I used a couple of lengths of 1-1/2"x3/16" angle iron, bolting
