In this week’s video, I build a portable, compact table saw, using an inexpensive 7 1/4 inch circular saw. A SKIL saw is the easiest type of circular saw to implement because it already has mounting holes at the front and the back of the base plate. The rest of the build is just plywood and a little bit hardware. I used pocket Hole Joinery to make up the structure of the portable table and added some clamping bars at the bottom. This saw is perfect when placed on top of saw horses and can be packed up and moved very easily. The table saw fence is the best part. I built a self-squaring, quick release fence that locks into place easily, with no fuss.

Yes please make plans for the saw

@ZSfurniturecostum182 3 года назад

Good job sir.

@dickflinghammer58 4 года назад

Hah I made one in 93 when I had my cabinet shop. I needed a portable with no money left to buy one (they were all crap then anyway) so I put my Milwaukee circular saw under a table box with a fence. Not as nice but did the job

@joeobrien196 4 года назад

Maybe for the delux version you could attach the saw to a piece of aluminium plate half inch wider all round like a router table. Allows you to use almost the full cut depth cut capacity for your saw.

@EricSorensenCanada 4 года назад

You could do that but it's not really worth it for the extra 1/2 inch. I wouldn't recommend cutting at full depth regardless.

Great build Eric! That portable table saw would definitely come in handy....... 👍👍😉😉

@mrnobelnigel 4 года назад

Great build. Same design would work for a mini router table? Watching out for the plans. Thanks for sharing.

@EricSorensenCanada 4 года назад

Thanks! Similar, but the Mini router table has different features and specs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rbx031_KS6c.html

18TPI!! They'll probably charge you as much as an entire circular saw for an 18TPI saw blade :)

@Billybob09871 4 года назад

That looks great. But it seems to me this would be a good thing for someone with limited tools to build. Do you think you would be able to make that using only the skil saw and a drill?

@EricSorensenCanada 4 года назад

You can build this with just a circular saw with an edge guide (or a good straight edge) and a drill. You would also need a basic pocket hole jig and a speed square. The only part you won't be able to do is the miter slots and the T-track.

@Billybob09871 4 года назад

Could you not cut the miter slots with the saw and a straight edge, just in several passes. As long as the cut either side was accurate and the bottom of the slot was sanded after, it would work ok, wouldn't it?

@EricSorensenCanada 4 года назад

It would be tough to get the bottom of the miter slot perfectly flat doing it that way. Ask yourself how much you will actually need a miter slot before you go through all that trouble.

@austinsomerset2322 4 года назад

@@EricSorensenCanada You could flatten the bottom with a home made router plane aka Paul Sellers!

@EricSorensenCanada 4 года назад

I recommend buying at least a basic router. You'll never look back🙂

@airford13 3 года назад

@jaqledesma 3 года назад

Question- Why is there a milled groove in the table of a circular saw? Subscriber from New Zealand!!

@EricSorensenCanada 4 года назад

Thanks🙂 It's for the mitre gauge. It's also useful if you plan to use various jigs and cross-cut sleds.

@Miss.Kaiuto2770 4 года назад

Eric, Do you know what a fence toe is?

@EricSorensenCanada 4 года назад

Yes! The toe refers to the end opposite from the locking lever on most fences (pointing away from you). Some folks micro-adjust their fence so it is toe-out, or widens slightly on the out-feed, so that your off-cut portion does not jam between the fence and the blade. Most will agree that you do not want to "toe-in" the fence (narrowing the out-feed). The default is no-toe, or parallel to the blade. Most saws will do fine with the default set up. I personally maintain a parallel set-up and ensure that I'm using a sharp blade. Also, if you're using your riving knife, you really don't need to worry about the fence toe adjustment. Also, NOT all fences will allow you to adjust for this. Finally, Don't try to take large cuts all at once. Use less blade and go with a flip cut or raise the blade gradually and make multiple passes. I'll probably make a video at some point to explain this better.
