Very Simple DIY Table Saw

This homemade table saw is made out of a track saw

a track saw has a rail
but if you turn the saw upside down
the rail becomes a very handy cross cut sled

with a special clamp , that fits into the rail
you have a very clever crosscut sled
you can cut every angle you want

and with a board, as a table saw fence, you can cut all of your stripes

for bigger parts, you can easily uninstall the saw
and use it as a normal track saw again

you need only to build

• a jig for the deep setting,
• a frame for the saw and
• a trigger for the switch

The frame is made out of two boards

in the first picture, you see a little nose on the saw

this nose disturb the fit of the boards

so I cut them out with a jig saw

I screwed down one board on my table,
I placed the saw in position
and then I screwed down the second board

this saw has two holes on his plate

but unfortunately this holes are out of the range of the boards

so I screwed two blocks of plywood under the boards

and I could fix the saw with two screws

This rail has a second slot on the back

I used this to secure it in place

I drilled two holes, threaded them and screwed to bolts in

a little clamp, made out of 6 mm Plywood
hold the switch in place

for work with the saw you need an outlet with a switch

My saw has a hole in the handle

in this hole fits perfect a 6 mm threaded rod

this threaded rod goes through a slot of a little board

made out of 4 mm plywood

to screw on this board, it was necessary to drill and thread a new hole

first I thought, I can use the existed hole above

but this is to high, and it disturbs the saw to tilt it to 45 degrees

my rail is 12 mm high

therefore I screwed two 6 mm boards of MDF on the left side

and two of them, glued together, on the right side

but on the right side, I made a cut with the saw so

the saw blade and the riving knife comes all the way through
