Can't wait to do this on my 04 Ram 1500. The bed is rotted from sitting, and this will look so much better.

I used talc and a chalkboard eraser per Powermatic's recommendation to polish and get it to shine (PM 66), then Mothers for final buffing. It turned out like yours BTW. Fast forward I have a SawStop, and the cast iron is not as durable/hard as Powermatic's. I use Mothers, and Fluid film, and cover the saw with foam floor tiles so I can use it as a work top. No it does not shine like the PowerMatic, but I have not done the polishing like you. But hey its rust free and has a factory dull shine. Good enough for me!

did something similar to this for a old ranger I had. the center two floor/bed boards tho I put on hinges and didnt bolt them down but used a groove sorta like cabinets so they could sit flush. this way if I ever needed to get at the fuel pump I'd never have to drop the tank. after doing two fuel pumps on my other trucks, I will never ever drop a tank every again. so i wanted to be able to just flip open a small section of my bed and easily reach the fuel pump.

I realise this is an older video, but it might help if you cut a slot in the clamping piece. that way you can slide it on from the side and you don't have to remove the wing nut anymore since the rings can pass over it.

Well, to be honest, I had to rebuild it using pressure treated wood. But other than that, no complaints. I also added "fender" cutouts when I put bigger tires on it.

Why not use 1/2 inch on just the back piece. The back piece only runs against the runner. That way the side where you cut can still be the 1/4. That back piece is even the bigger of the 2.

I looked through your videos and did not see how you made your baffle. I'll keep looking, but if you see this and feel like pushing me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
@FranklinWoodWorks20165 ай бұрын
It's called a "thien baffle." I didn't do a video because others on KZbin have already posted builds. The videos I used as a guide were "Thien Baffle Top Hat Dust Separator" by ghostses. It's a five part series (really long but super detailed). I think I used his plans exactly, the variation may have been accounting for the size of my dust bin. Don't make the same mistake as others - make sure your dust bin is rigid. A plastic Rubbermaid trash can will collapse under the suction. I used a 55 gal drum, but I think any metal trash can will work. Although the build was tedious, it was very fun and the results are awesome. Good luck.
