feeder mount

Listing #55 Listed on: 09/15/2011

Hi folks,

After looking around here and other places for the most effective way to utilize a power feeder on a tablesaw I had a bracket made that bolts to the back of the saw. I did not care for drilling the surface. It's made of 3/8" x 6" steel with slots cut into it to slide the feeder when needed. It's versatile and quite effective.

I had a co worker�s retired father make up the mount. I donated to his retirement fund $200.00. I had some revisions made and paid him for his time, 4-5 hours total. They purchased the 3/8 steel from a scrap yard for $50.00. There are NO modifications to the saw. I patterned the four existing holes in the saw table, 2- 3/8 x 24 thread and two in the wings. The enclosed stand also has four holes that I bolted through. A little black spray paint and I mounted it up.

That seems like a good solution for a 10" table saw. The bolt on side tables aren't all that sturdy for mounting a feed. I needed a feed on my 12" saw but didn't want to have to remove the feed when wide work needed to be done. The solution was a floor mounted post to carry the feed. Works fine. I also had a socket made for my slider that takes the column of a feed. Nothing is above the table when the feed is pulled. The original cast socket is on another machine so it's quick to move the feed.

Looks really good, it gives me a couple of good ideas too!
