My son's birthday gift
Well today I finally got some good work done on my 5 year olds birthday gift. Thought I would share the start of the project with you all. I won't give up the final result until the end, but feel free to wonder. Although all the hints are in the pictures, we'll at least 59%.

Re: My son's birthday gift
I guess it is a table saw for a 5 years old.
Re: My son's birthday gift
Added the cutter head today. It lacks some rigidity, but once the drill is attached it will remove any play in the bracket. If needed be I'll add some foam to it for a more secure hold.
Going to now find a way to secure the drill to the base rather than the top, but with it being removable. However, I think I need a new drill, the hammer drill is to big size wise. Might just buy a cheap big box store corded drill (harder to come by than cordless). Wish me luck this weekend as I also need to figure out the fence assembly as well.

Swapped the drill to keep it under the table. Not happy about how it will look compared to its design model... but it's functional currently. Need to modify the base to include a motor access door and attach the base.

Re: My son's birthday gift
So, the cutter head looks like a nibbler. Something for sheet metal work?

Re: My son's birthday gift
It looks amazing ! What people build never ceases to amaze me .
Re: My son's birthday gift
It is a nibbler. That's the fun part because a nibbler cuts material up to 2mm thick and is not a rotary tool. Due to that it's fairly safe. While I have no intention in letting my then 6 year old cut sheet metal on it (although he could) it does cut cardboard, posterboard, plastics, paper, etc... and its near impossible to get a finger in the cutting area because of the cap and the 2mm slot. That's what makes it an excellent starter table saw. Build good safety habits with this so he can build with me when he does up.rpd wrote:So, the cutter head looks like a nibbler.

Still lots to do with this project, and I'll try to keep progress pictures coming.
