So one of the items I like to do is crosscut on my miter saw as it is FAST and EASY to set up production stops, until it isn't. What do do?
So the typoical outfeed support / fence with flip stops lept to mind, and I had just the right piece of scrap 3/4 ply laying around.
Measure, measure again, check again, set the table saw,a nd rip away, And then it happened...
So this 10 year old piece of cutoff Home Depot Aracuo pine ply that was lazer straight until I ran the saw blade through it, got a noticable curve / warp to it.
Good thing I have more to go with, expecially since AFTER making the cuts, I figured out I actually want it wider.
If you don't recall, my miter saw table outfeed goes past / in front of my upright freezer door. Well, I am going to need a wider support there as I stopped at the end of the miter saw table, and I can get at least 10" more outfeed and fence in there.
Oh and FWIW, the flip stops are just cheap Powertech flip stops, the 3" units from Amazon. And yes, I am going to once the fable, fence, T track etc.. are installed and set up, I am going to line out and set up the stick on measuring tape to actually make this that much more useful. I will be doing these on both sides to support outfeed as well as provide supports and production stops for both the miter saw and the mortiser.
Not going to bother more with it tonight, but wil dig in more tomorrow...
