Table Saw Mod

I built a DIY down draft table 4'X4' with a table saw in it a while back and also a place for me to store my shop vac.

Got tired of clearing off the table to open the door every time I want to cut a board.

Solution:

1) Removed my table saw from the stock mount and bolted the saw to the underside of the table.

2) Added a new top Laminated interlocking flooring boards.

3) Raised the saw to max and now have a small 'blade' hole in my table top.

I use my locking, portable guide to properly set the wood for cutting.

Cuts up to a 2x4. and the side access door sucks most all debris. Table is on wheels for larger jobs / location placements.
