Re: severe blade misalignment
Thanks for your idea as well. I found a deal on a 4x6 with the idea of

Re: severe blade misalignment
I had some left over 3x3 tubing and made this table, 2x2 would work just as well. I like it better because i can go from horizontal to vertical in about 5 seconds. It clamps in the vise. Your saw may

Re: severe blade misalignment
I really like the dedicated vertical idea. Could you post more pics of your

Re: severe blade misalignment
Not clear what you are trying to show.
