Table saw mod (inside down draft table)

**Barry** · Dec 2, 2015, 01:29 PM

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 (lid) 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 MDF interlocking flooring boards.

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

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

Cuts up to a 2x4. and the side access door sucks in most all debris.

The table is on wheels for larger jobs / location placements and stores my shop Vac.
