A Round Tuit

[Steve Maskery]

I've been meaning to do this for years.
When I swap from planing to thicknessing I have to remove the fence and find somewhere to put it. As the PT is next to the TS, the TS usually becomes its resting place, for a few minutes at least, until it becomes in the way again when I want to use the saw. I then move it somewhere else, until it's in the way there as well.

So I've glued three pieces of wood together and bolted them to the back panel of the machine. A 20 minute job that has been put off for over a decade!

And I'll give you less than a day before you start putting stuff on your new "table"!
I probably spend more time moving tools, wood, coffee cups etc than I do actually woodworking. My bandsaw & RAS tables seem to be the favourite.

I did a 'ruthless' clearout recently and swore that I'd never store stuff on my bandsaw or sawbench again...


Fast forward 5 minutes, and .... :roll:

What a great new table for passing stuff back and forth through the thicknesser!!

Idea duly borrowed - both P/T and bandsaw fences are crying out for something like that - thanks Steve!

That looks about knee height for the purpose of walking into it!

It would be if I could walk past it on that side. It's between the PT and the TS

Great idea - only the cyclone I bought from you sits there so as to reduce the travel between both machines!
