Radial Arm Saw

[Ed in Tampa]

I am thinking about an area that when done will be a combination of a laid in Radial Arm Saw, and a Miter Saw similar to elements in the two photos attached.

The RAS extension on mine, I hope to have hinged in a drop away with slide out 2x4 supports below.

I will use stem slotted elevator bolts, T-Nuts and lock nuts to level the Radial Arm Saw from beneath to the fixed table countertop, with a drop in replaceable Masonite type top plate over the saw area.

Have some of you built something similar for your shops?

If you mount the RAS with adjustment bolts and adjust the whole chassis level to the table top you will have a RAS that does not go out of adjustment when someone drops a 4x4 on the table.
