Re: Auxiliary table on FB bandsaw
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJason:You can buy an infeed extension table (with leg) that fits on that round bar. It is diabolically complicated and fiddly to set up. And it weighs a lot because it is pressed steel rather than machined aluminium. I have the extension, but don¡¯t use it much because it is so awkward to remove and replace. From recollection, it is 800mm x 150mm. Have you dispensed with the fence? I have purchased numerous ¡°f-rail¡± mounts which can be added on the sides of the FB540 (I¡¯ve done this on the back and side of mine) so you can use a normal f-rail mounted extension tables. If you¡¯re using your fancy feeder now, and have no use of the fence, this would be the way to go. But if you want to retain the fence, then you have to decide what to do for an extension table and that round bar. Considering my experience with the OEM solution, I¡¯d be very tempted to make an extension table and leg in house. It wouldn¡¯t be that hard to make or purchase a fitting that would attach to the round bar, and just make the rest out of timber. Anyway, sing out if you want pictures, or more info. Good luck.
Warm regards, Lucky
