Hello everyone,
As we discussed earlier in another thread, I am currently designing a mini table saw, somewhat similar to the Byrnes saw. I hope that my design will be at least as good, and perhaps even better in some respects.
The table will be 400 mm wide and 325 mm deep. Unfortunately, I cannot make it any larger. The main limitation is that I don't have large machines in my workshop, so I simply cannot properly machine larger components.
The saw will run at around 5,500 RPM, but it will also have smooth variable speed control. I am planning to use a servo motor, which should allow the saw to maintain full power even at relatively low RPM. As I understand it, lower speeds can be useful when cutting plastics, as this helps prevent the material from melting.
The saw will also have precise blade height adjustment, allowing the blade to be raised or lowered, so that more or less of the blade can protrude above the table. I hope to make this adjustment as accurate as possible.
The saw will accept Proxxon 80 mm blades, as well as larger blades up to a maximum diameter of 100 mm, with a 20–22.2 mm bore.
At the rear there will also be a riving knife, which is not installed yet, as well as a dust extraction outlet.
For now, please take a look at what I have designed so far. I would really appreciate your comments, suggestions and constructive criticism.
I should just point out that I am working within some fairly strict limitations. I simply don't have the equipment to manufacture very large components, so I have to keep the overall size and dimensions within what I can realistically machine.
That's why the saw is going to be this size.
I'd be very interested to hear what you think.
