That looks to be a miter saw for wood. But Unal will let us know for sure. Smile

Ed,
You are on the dot. Thumbsup

That is the "mistake"..., an ex con. Rant

a circular table saw with changable blade for wood or metal. it is extremely high speed one and scares me to use it. althouhg it cuts straight, easy and acurate, but one time I was cutting an aluminum pieace (everyone should experince this once- to not forget) right after the blade went throuh the piece, I heard this loud BANG!, Ouch

I though was the shut gun exploded behind me.
I could not find the piece, fly went by my ear desaapeared in the shop. Later I learned alum would do that. that was the last time ever used the thing... Cool

Thanks, Dave, Smile

Nice to hear that from you guys, Rotfl

Its a miniature home shop, limits me to spread things around. I have to care a bit about infalamebles and chemicals etc. and cant do any casting or welding or tempering kind of work either. But you cant have a cake and eat it too, I guess... Smile

Hi Unal,

You got my attention when you mentioned "miniature". I immediately went to your pics again to see if I can pick up some pointers to layout mine.

Good stuff you have there!

Regards,
Wong

Interesting - I have never seen one with a top cover like that. Very different to the ones I am use to seeing here.

Wongster, Smile

I understand you have also a small home shop? Smile

Here I use, couple of rubber car mats to lay sharp cutters or tools freely.

Easy to vacuum and keeps your sharp edged tools safe, round stuff wont roll down.

I found shelves more useful than drawers for everyday used stuff.

Keep some of the machine gears and circular blades etc. on the wall for easy access.

Boxes are also useful to keep some odds and ends

Easy access for different size of end mills, I also use soap holders wood or plastic to keep sharp stuff from cutting each other

Made Teflon bad for them

Mayhem,

this feature got me interested too, at the begining, I had to cut all the wood to make my benches with it.
when you lock down the body, top cover becames a table and blade stands out from a slot, than you can also use as a table saw, like carpenters do.
