Low & Slow. This is gonna be a while


Oh, I was wrong. I checked the tracking, and it said delivered. So for now, uselessly short rails u til the glue is all set up, but it lets me check a few things.

Cut depth maximum is about 1 3/4", if I place the base the maximum distance from the sled. This gives enough to cut 2X whatever, so it’s good enough for now. I won’t have to unload the saw every time I want to crop some lumber, and this might even come in handy.

Checking that the saw can still tilt to 45 degrees. The sled interferes with the blade guard at this angle, and it’s super close to the bearing holders. I’ll need to shim the bed for the sheet goods, as I’ll lose about 30% of my cutting depth, so this is about 1 1/4" cutting depth max.

Well, I hardly ever use the angled cut on that saw, if it’s a problem I’ll figure something out.

Edit: is it a bad thing that I’m thinking I could add a LR2 X drive to this and make a CNC Panel saw? (Not that this would be actually useful, but cool, right?)
