Yes, yes... the table is leveled, hahahahaha... I did check that firstThat's coming out very well!
Have to confess, had to stifle a laugh when I saw the carpenters level (having struggled with leveling my lathe). A carpenter's level and a machinist's level are so different in sensitivity. But for this use, a carpenter's level is fine. Is the table that the saw is sitting on level? Might want to check that first before tacking.
That came out amazing!! How many did you make? I need one...Made myself a carriage stop.
Most of the time I’m not using the prox. stop that Mark made for me, and when it’s on the way it tends to activate when lots of chips are falling in its path. So I end up keeping it hanging off the chip drawer below unless I’m using it.
I wanted this stop mainly as a safety device just so I don’t inadvertently crash should I get side tracked, or as I did last time when I be grabbed the wrong handle
I didn’t need the adjustable aspect of it, but I did need an offset so it’s not hitting the way wiper first. Threaded it at 20 tpi so it’s .050 per revolution should I need to know for some reason. Doubt I ever will, but it was fun to make the addition non the less.
The block is aluminum and the plate is steel with a registration pin to keep it from spinning. I just used the basic dimensions of the PM stop as a guide.
I am also going to put a lever handle bolt on the prox. stop as I'm tired of having to grab a wrench every time it needs moved.
