All my Saw’s Base are Belong to Me<\/em><\/p>\n

My saw has a mobile base! It’s incredible! I can push it around the garage, like a sweaty, angry tugboat mooring an aircraft carrier!<\/p>\n

I got an HTC 3000 base for it. Now that I have seen how simple a saw base is, and how little steel it takes to hold a 700-pound object, I wish I had made a base from scratch. I could have done a better job. This one is generally okay, but it partially obstructs the dust collection hole, so if I want dust collection, I’m going to have to cut off a piece of the reducer I ordered to hook the saw up to the shop-vac. Maybe I’ll scrounge up some metal and weld up a base. I don’t need it, but that’s no excuse not to do it.<\/p>\n

You would be surprised how easy it is to put a huge saw on a base without help. It’s pretty hard, but that’s easy, compared to impossible. And impossible is what I expected. You tilt the saw and put wood under it, and then you tilt it again to get the base between the wood and the saw. Then you put it all together, and you find a way to get the wood out.<\/p>\n

I have a hoist, but I don’t trust it with this much weight.<\/p>\n

I am now officially out of excuses for not using the saw. With the base working, I can put the rails on the saw, and that means I can put a router extension on it.<\/p>\n

Could I be approaching the point where I actually DO something with tools?<\/p>\n

I sure hope not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
