Saw III - Axminster AP1854BV Pedestal Build Final

[@hestheMaster]

Great job on the stand Chris. Nothing more handy than having a locking set of wheels to store it out of the way as well.

[@IanScottJohnston]

You made a fine stand......well done!

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Thanks Ian

[@Theoobovril]

Looks good, Chris.

[@terryblackman6217]

Nice work. You certainly are a man of many talents.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Thanks Terry

[@peterc2150]

If I was you, I would feel very satisfied with this result. A spot of paint does finish it off nicely. Have you created anough room to install a CNC breake press? You could test your Fusion 360 CAD skills and wow us with fabulous enclosures. Nice work Chris. Regards Peter

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Thanks Peter. There is a new CNC on the way but keep it a secret.

[@MrDubje]

That turned out very nice. You are a good welder.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

To be honest the power was set a bit high as the weld bead was wide. I learned to weld at a young age but first time in 5 years so I’m out of practice. The other thing is I have a good welding set and it makes a huge difference compared to those cheap DIY welding machines. Trying to do more mechanical projects as I am doing a lot of electronics at work so want to do something different on my weekends. Hope your OK thanks for watching Regards Chris

Welding looked reasonably good to me, I only recently got a Gas-less (flux core) Mig welder, that took a fair bit of getting used to, I can arc (stick) weld a lot better than I can mig that is for sure, I’m loving my auto darkening helmet too.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

I have a good welding machine with a very heavy copper transformer it takes out a lot of the guessing. Flux core is better for outdoor welding where you may lose the gas shield. I used to work in a fabrication shop but not as a welder.

Looks good!

[@BjornV78]

Let's see if i can break another drill 😂 Nice done Chris 👍

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

I can break anything it’s a gift.

[@Andrewausfa]

Ooooh Flecktarnmuster waterproof welding suit...oooh suits you Sir, oooh! Impressing the German lady welding aficionados are we Sir? Better welding than I could manage. Doing something other than electronics will be good for you and to be fair, you've always been multi-functional/cross skilled in your videos from day one.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Yes I’m equal unqualified for a vast range of subjects. It’s a skill in itself.

[@daveodessa]

Couldn't you have fitted the set screws the other way round then the srew head wouldn't hit the castor? Good video, thanks Chris.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

No unfortunately the screws would have hit the legs on the saw. I could have drill and tapped the frame but couldn’t be bothered for this type of project

[@zx8401ztv]

Great construction :-D When i saw the word "pedestal" i thought about the drills in the school metal work class, but i was wrong, No supprised there :-D. They were factory pillar drills bolted to the floor. I thought Axminister was a carpet manufacturer, carpet in a workshop seemed a bit to far :-D

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Nothing like a nice shag pile

[@TheDefpom]

Is that a wood blade?

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Multimaterial Blade.

[@davidv1289]

Well done, Chris. So nice to be able to easily move the saw around, you will appreciate that every time you do. I also had wondered about the saw blade, I have never seen one like it, usually see the abrasive disk type used for cutting steel. Is the back fence of the saw adjustable? Regards, David

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

I think after watching some other videos the back fence is adjustable but I didn’t spot it on the day. I’m surprised it wasn’t adjusted correctly as it had been used at work

[@davidv1289]

@@allthegearnoidea6752 That is odd - usually they are set and never moved!

[@AJB2K3]

Is that a "Cutting Edge" base?

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

oh dear
