chop saw stand
On Doug Reid's web site he has a couple of pics of a stand he made to use a ryobi chop saw on the SS. Though there was talk of him producing plans for this, I haven't seen any. Does anybody have plans for this?
I don't see any plans posted but it shouldn't be too hard to make you own.
The third photo down on this page shows good detail of the construction.
I will reproduce it here for ease of reference

The top of the stand needs to be a bit larger than the base of you chop saw.
The sides need to be inset enough that they don't interfere with the with the chop saw mounting bolts.
The height needs to be such that the table of the chop saw is a bit higher than the top of the ShopSmith headstock so that the ShopSmith main and auxiliary tables can be used to support the wood being cut.
A different approach to this is shown on this post

re chop saw stand
Thanks, i had never seen the second one. I'll get to work.
I just clamp my compound miter circular saw directly to the table on my "500" from the back. Then I can slide it back and forth to set-up the support I need on either side with the extension tables. And I can adjust the height of the table (within reason) to match the adjustable height of the extension tables. Other than "F" clamps, nothing else special is needed.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Please post pictures when you are done.JonE wrote:Thanks, i had never seen the second one. I'll get to work.
I may make one myself, the stand I have for my sliding compound miter saw takes up way to much floor space.

It seems like an option that utilizes the SS main table would be preferred, as it gives you the easy ability to raise/lower etc. as needed. Matter of fact, the suggestion of just clamping it to the main table seems the simplest - has anyone tried this and had troubles with it slipping or otherwise have problems that would make some sort of mount more suitable?

See post #4. I've used clamps for years without a single problem. My scms is mounted on a piece of MDO the same size as the "500" table.dgale wrote:It seems like an option that utilizes the SS main table would be preferred, as it gives you the easy ability to raise/lower etc. as needed.
