Using a hand saw is not always comfortable, using a table allows you to make the sawing process smoother and more accurate

The cutting base has a disc-like plane with a serrated outer edge. There are models not only of the manual type, but also with the possibility of fixing on the table.

It is difficult to work with large volumes of wood with a regular circular, so it is better to place it on a table.

There are several ways to acquire the latter for the convenience of performing manipulations. A table for a circular saw can be built independently, precisely following a certain pattern.

Deciding on the design and construction

The simplest version of a circular table is a structure made of fairly thick plywood and boards

The base can be made of wood or metal. For the countertop, leafy tree species are chosen. A special hole for the disc should be made in it. Convenience should be the key property of the created table.

Care should be taken to ensure its stability. Any loosening is unacceptable, otherwise it will negatively affect safety. The countertop should have the most even surface. This will reduce the likelihood of injury during work.

A circular saw table requires the presence of guides

The structure can be supplemented with a special riving knife. He can be filmed. It is equipped with a special disc protection that allows it to get rid of the chips flying into the working.

Some remove the factory cover and change the factory platform to a homemade one. If you are not going to cut at an angle, you can remove the parts that adjust the inclination of the blade.

Scheme for making a table for a circular saw

Before starting work, it is recommended to go through the preparatory stage. Be sure to make a drawing. This will facilitate the process of creating the structure. First calculate the dimensions of the table, then transfer the obtained data to paper. The hole to be made in the structure must fit exactly the size of the saw. It all depends on the brand of equipment. Therefore, it is impossible to make a universal hole. The base must be stable and withstand well mechanical loads.

It is unacceptable to outweigh the structure to one side. The dimensions of the table top should be suitable for the cutting flow. The final version is determined based on individual desires. Some people work comfortably with a folding table or a product with small dimensions.

An important point should be taken into account in the drawings. If you plan to leave tools or materials on the table during work, then the dimensions of the countertop need to be increased to a square meter in area. A suitable size would be 120 by 120 cm.A drawing should be done carefully and slowly in order to do everything correctly.

It is not recommended to use plastic, it is completely unsuitable for a table of this purpose. If wood is chosen, then after the assembly is completed, the product should be treated with a special antiseptic composition. This will provide reliable protection from moisture and help prevent rotting.

To make a saw table yourself, you need to prepare materials.

  • Selected raw materials for the base. The thickness should be 21 mm.
  • The beam required for the frame. An edged board with a length of 3 meters with dimensions of 50 to 150 mm is suitable. Only 5 pieces are needed.
  • Dowels made of wood with dimensions of 10 cm.Not less than 12 pieces.
  • Wood glue.
  • Metal fasteners in the amount of 4 pieces.
  • Metal corners. Enough 10 pieces.
  • Self-tapping screws.

These elements must be prepared in advance and placed near the workplace.

Manufacturing process: step by step instructions

To make a quality structure, you must follow some tips. The process consists of several steps, presented in the table.

Steps Description
one The block should be trimmed on all sides using a planer. Then the frame of the future table is assembled from it. Several 5 mm holes must be drilled on each side of the countertop. Additionally, one pass-through is performed for the legs of the product.
2 Several holes of the same diameter are made in the drawers. In the legs, one through is performed. Diameter remains the same, 5 mm.
3 Proceed with installing the dowels in the table top. Before that, they are covered with wood glue. Legs and tsars are placed on top. If there are clamps with screeds, the product should be fixed with them. When the glue is completely dry, you need to fasten the drawers and legs using special metal fasteners. Additionally, it should be tightened with self-tapping screws. You can add reliability and strength to the structure by using the corners. They will become an element of additional fastening, give stability to the product. For the short side, 2 pieces are enough, and for the long side, 3 are suitable.
four The next step involves securing the saw to the workpiece from the inside. There are several methods to accomplish the task. For fastening, M4 bolts or bars with self-tapping screws are suitable. The first case is fast and reliable. The second method does not involve additional holes, which eliminates the need for drilling. It is necessary to do a drank in bars, the width of which is equal to the dimensions of the saw platform. Further, self-tapping screws and bars on both sides fasten the equipment and the countertop
five After installing the saw, you will need another larger block. It, using self-tapping screws, is fixed on the basis of the structure. Fastening is carried out at the marks made when the platform was set in a level position. These manipulations will help, when removing the saw, return it usually quickly without looking for markings.
6 The saw blade is set in place. The base is sawn to obtain a longitudinal hole. Then the product needs to be turned over
7 Then the production of the parallel stop is started. Two strips are sawn off from the plywood. Their length should be the same as the width of the table. On average, these dimensions are 10 cm.The corners should be rounded
eight The resulting strips are polished. They need to be fastened at an angle with self-tapping screws. A metal corner should be screwed inside
nine If you need to fix the stop on the base and the structure will be used often, you should attach the guide so that it is perpendicular to the disk. Attach the roller on the bottom. This will allow him to move.

The structure is completed and ready to use. When performing the described manipulations, it is important to remember the observance of safety measures. Also applies to any manipulation of the circular saw.

Check the position of the table and its firmness regularly. The structure must be stable, without loosening.
