Building the tools to build the tools…
A sled to hold circular saw. There is a 1/8" depression to hold the shoe.
A quick test fit of the saw. I don’t have the #8 machine screws which the shoe has threads for, so just a test fit.
And I happened to have these which I think I can use to hold the sled to a couple of 1" steel tubes, so that I can use the circular saw as a panel saw.
I seem to have misplaced my leftover 608 skate bearings, but I’m sure I’ll find them before this is ready.
Basically, I need a panel saw in order to handle some of the LR2 table design I have. My table saw can’t manage the sizes I want, and while a straight edge and clamps will probably work for one cut, I want repeatability for several pieces… I thought about a table extension for the table saw, but this works, too. I’ll save the table extension for when I get a router lift.
