Step by step build series: • How to build a Table S...
In early 2017 I felt the urge to build a new table saw. For materials I decided to use mainly plywood. Plywood is stron, dimensionally stable and wear resistant at the edges. For the Motor of the saw I used my Bosch PKS 66.
The most interesting feature of this saw is the trunion tilt mechanism. Though it requires some accuracy and planning to make this mechanism actually work, it allows the saw blade to stay at it's place at the surface of the table even when the saw it tilted. The secret is that the trunions allow for a tilting axies that is excatly in plain with the surface of the table top.

1:44 I like how you DIY'ed a table saw to make parts for your DIY table saw

[@matthiaswandel]

Very clever build all around, but especially those trunnions and the height adjustment mechanism.

[@stratocactus]

I was just thinking "well that's a table saw Matthias would love !". And here you are.

[@MikkosFree]

I was just about to comment that maybe he shouldn't paint it green, just in case it gets mistaken for something a certain famous KZbin builder might make.

[@tingchamp6506]

I don't see any mechanic locks the blade tightly after adjustments

[@MikkosFree]

I'm no expert, but I expect that the nature of the treads and rod should keep the saw cradle in place wherever the rotation stopped.

[@mikekoms2193]

bueno, no seria muy complicado hacer un mecanismo de bloqueo en la propia manivela./ Well, it would not be very complicated to make a locking mechanism in the crank itself.

[@user-ns5uo2gz3d]

THIS IS THE BEST I'VE SEEN ON THE SUBJECT SAWING TABLES ! PERFECTLY !!!

[@andreeaco379]

Great concept and execution with one mention to make regarding safety, install the kickback guard!

[@MrSrponyboy]

I was just thinking that too

[@elyadg]

Really nice! The only things I would do different would be to use coarser thread ready rod so you don't have as many rotations on the handle and a cam handle for the fence lock. I also found a can of Tremclad rust paint gives a great finish.

[@rickpalechuk4411]

Love the build! Turned out great. And the irony of using a tablesaw as a work bench to build a tablesaw :) Keep em coming

Лучший самодельный распиловочный станок, который я видел.

[@user-ph9wg2zw5v]

Точно. Жаль ,что как ни старайся,а класс точности очень низкий всё равно остаётся.Даже точно выставишь поначалу, то через небольшое время собьется.Для серьёзных работ (обьемных)по столярке не пойдёт. А так для себя хороший.

[@silenthunter9239]

Идея стола великолепная, но появится выроботка от вибрации стола на соединительных узлах (поворотных) и будут покрешности. Станина сама "жидковатая".

[@user-qe7nf3eo8i]

На поворотных узлах использовать пластик.

[@daniyartabaldyev7406]

@@user-ph9wg2zw5v это пила чисто для хобби. Любой даже самый малозанятый контрактор купит себе пилу фабричного производства. Это для людей, у которых есть время, есть желание чтото поделать и нет желания тратиться на нормальную пилу, чтобы та потом включалась одир раз в год - т.е. для хобби. То же самое касается и остальных комментариев о поворотных узлах, которые износятся. Он (самодельный станок) не предназначен для частого использования. Он нужен, чтобы был, если вдруг надо одну доску распилить, после дождичка в четверг. И самое главное, нужен он как проэкт сам по себе. Процесс постройки станка важнее полученного результата.

То, что я давно хотел увидеть!!! Спасибо, товарищ!

[@user-us5cw3eq8y]

С этой идеей сделал себе пильный стол под пилу Hammerflex CRP 900A. С учётом невысокой квалификации и примитивного инструмента на него ушло больше двух месяцев. Себе на удивление - получилось! Управление подъёмом и поворотом - по-своему, попроще. Но сама идея заворожила и провела через все трудности. Теперь наслаждаюсь!

[@olel7431]

Юрий Курский я сделал такой же стол, но у меня диск при 90 и при 45 не попадает в один и тот же прорез. Где ошибся???

[@user-us5cw3eq8y]

@@olel7431 Прежде чем делать прорезь на чистовой заготовке столешницы, я помучался с настройкой на черновых заготовках. Во-первых, добился, чтобы ось вращения при наклоне диска точно совпадала с плоскостью столешницы. Иначе при наклоне прорезаемая диском щель будет смещаться в сторону. Во-вторых, радиусы поворота с обеих сторон механизма при наклоне постарался установить как можно точнее одинаковыми. Иначе плоскость диска будет уводить, т.е. линия пересечения её со столешницей изменит угол по отношению к одной из сторон стола. Кроме того, в финале обнаружилось, что после установки пилы плоскость диска не совпала чуть-чуть с перпендикуляром к стороне столешницы. Хорошо, что винты, крепящие корпус к механизму, позволили подстроить этот угол. Это тоже влияло на неизменность положения диска в щели столешницы.

[@jeucedahn]

Clever and aweasome! This turns out great. How do you prevent the tilting mechanism to move with the vibrations?

[@CosmasBauer]

Thanks! It does not move.

[@eulaliorac7913]

U UAI

[@learnerlearns]

Really clever! Getting the axis for the trunnion like that took some thinking! I'm guessing you passed all your geometry classes. Having the lift / tilt mechanism mounted to the cabinet instead of the top is smart too! I wonder why so many major manufacturers don't do that? Oh wait... yeah now I remember. It should be fun waiting for the safety trolls' comments on this one. Those unorthodox circ-saw techniques might cause some wet panties. ;-)

[@niels1497]

The system is wobbly as fuck like this. Only the threaded rod and the precision of the wood guides limit the wobble... Making that stuff precise enough for zero movement would cost more than most table saws do.

After having watched the whole video I noticed that you made a video about this table saw before. I missed that somehow, so i took a look now. I'm very impressed and according the comments, I'm not the only one. Do you have plans (for sale)? Some parts will have other measurements for other circular saws than you have, but the principle of the mechanisms should be for all circular saws the same.

[@UnacceptableViews]

@@loknut6614 in my part of Australia the kerf is the amount of material removed by the blades teeth.. it has nothing to do with the riving knife which moves with the blade or a splitter which has a fixed height..

[@andreaslobachewsky8493]

Very nice build. Regarding accuracy, what's the limiting factor in your experience? The lift/tilt mechanics, or the saw axis /arbor? Did you take some measurements on play and blade wobble? I'm trying to decide if it's better to DIY or buy. Thanks for showing, I very much like your focus on quality. Andreas

[@CosmasBauer]

Thant's a hard decision. The saw's accuracy and if it will be better or worse then what ever store bought saw you have in focus depends on your skill level. I'll give you this advice: If you don't intrinsically feel like building your own table saw and try to rationally decide whether to build one or not, don't do it.

[@andreaslobachewsky8493]

Cosmas, thanks for your reply. I've built a very basic table saw from a no-name circular saw, and found I couldn't get it very accurate, which I think was mainly due to the arbor wobble and axis play. I suspect that will be where most of the limitations of the home-made table saws will come from, and was wondering what your experience is.

[@andreaslobachewsky8493]

Scott, I fully sympathise with your approach, you have to live in a country with access to affordable good quality vintage machines, though. Unfortunately where I live it seems there are only overpriced, low quality and run down saws available. Most home improvement store job site saws look like they also need a lot of tweaking, and quality brand name table saws are unaffordable.

[@dasstackenblochen9250]

IME circular saws are not terribly accurate but good enough. A higher-end alternative would be a circular saw (flat) motor with a larger arbor (usually 100 mm in the 2-4 kW class), but that also means larger blades, at least 300-350 mm, smaller doesn't really make much sense. On the upside these are always induction motors, often three phase, so idle noise and vibrations are a lot lower. In any case, you won't be able to build a table saw as accurate (or powerful) as a F45 or (good) Felder in your shop from some multiplex.

[@joseluisfernandez2580]

He estado casi un año para resolver el problema del peso del motor, he hecho de todo, y al final, la solucion es meter una arandera abierta en el eje, mantine los 90º, y tambien 45º, es la deficiente construccion de una sierra de mano, su eje que tiene mucha hogura. con la arandela abierta y del grosor que pida, todo solucionado, y va estupendamente. Mi circular es una Felisatti de 2000w, y corta como la mantequilla. A ver si os sierve para vuestras mesas.

Can you please drawings of this design?

[@armanseric4840]

Cosmas you beats Matias:):):)

[@rezos100]

Arman Seric I absolutely agree with you

[@dutchhank]

I don't agree, although I totally like the resulting table saw, I think Matthias' video's are more educative. SAFETY: Matthias corrects, or explains himself when he does something stupid, or when something goes wrong. Although you can see small accidents happen in Matthias' workshop, he rarely hurt himself because he takes better safety precautions. If you have/want million of viewers you better set a good example. DESIGN: Matthias shares more of his design / experiments.
