P. J. Galati: Table Saw out feed Ramp - Episode 44

[@JawellNofine]

Love this, the external motor adds to the complexity of making a practical working outfeed table.

[@PJGalati]

Yup, it was tricky!

[@billzaffos621]

Nice video but does your outfeed table get in the way when the saw blade is tilted to cut 45 degree cuts? Doesn't the back end of the motor run into the bottom of the outfeed table? I tried something like this and the clearance issue inhibited me from cutting 45s. Please explain how you solved this issue.

[@PJGalati]

I only made straight cuts, so I don't know.

The term you are looking for is "chicago screws." Funny I never heard them called sex nuts before...however aptly named... :o Sometimes you can find really short ones in leather belts holding the buckles on. There is also a type you can use in sheet metal or other thin stock where you can't reach behind the panel to hold the nut, called rivnuts, or nutserts, they are a sort of like a pop rivet with threads down the middle for the screws. As you tighten the screw in from the front side, it collapses the nut part permanently into the stock like a rivet, and then the screw can be taken out again when necessary. Used em to put new speakers in my truck doors.

Yes, I know what you mean about the rivnuts, I see them advertised a lot. The sex nuts name came straight out of a woodworking magazine 25 years ago and when I ordered them, that was also the name listed. I'm sure they have several different names depending on the manufacturer.
