I finally wrapped up the fabrication of my downdraft water table. That way i get the best of both world and minimize both dust and gases. I’ve also added a 12 inch riser on it to be able to cut oddball material like tubing etc… let me know what you think ! All and all I got about 80 hrs in it.
Thank you sir ! I ended up using 8 linear bearing and 4 seperate guides. Overkill but since they were from amazon / china I wanted to play it safe. Here are a few more pics
Ended up using 2x2 for the frame. So i made a spacer in my evolution saw and use the depth limiter. The kerf on the blade is 0.94 inch so i drew lines every 1.5 inch, and made a pass on each side of the line for a cut of 0.188 total each. I then ordered 1.5 x 0.188 flat bar, chopped them to lenght and then adjusted their eights using a 0.5in flat bar welded underneath for a flat surface.
