Moving from small to large circular saw
Posted: Fri May 19, 2017 10:33 am
Hi,
I just started DIY as a hobby and I am on a small budget. I would like to build your router & saw table, but I only have a small circular saw from Bosch with a 165mm maximum diameter.
Is it possible (easy?) to replace this small circular saw with a larger 235mm circular saw sometime later? The reason why I'm asking is because I'm worried about accuracy:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess the build-process is like this, no?
1) cut out the insert space for circular saw with a router
2) cut out the opening hole with a jigsaw
3) screw circular saw into place
4) cut the saw blade opening
5) place miter tracks PARALLEL to the saw blade
6) place table saw fence PARALLEL to the mitre tracks
So, if I want to upgrade from 165mm circular saw to 235mm sometime in the future:
Is it possible to put the new saw under the table whilst keeping it accurate and PARALLEL to the existing mitre tracks? (i.e. going reverse way from step 5 to step 1). Or would I loose accuracy?
