A circular saw is a productive, convenient and maneuverable tool with which various construction and finishing work. If you need to perform large volumes of tasks, working with a manual circular saw is quite difficult. In such situations excellent assistant becomes a table for a circular saw. You can assemble it yourself from boards and plywood. The saw itself will be placed at the bottom of the tabletop, and the toothed blade will fit into the slot. The saw turns on, the disk begins to rotate, lumber is fed and sawing occurs. If you wish, you can assemble an excellent table for a circular saw with your own hands. There is nothing complicated in this work.

It is difficult to work with large volumes of wood with a regular circular saw, so it is better to place it on a table.

Circular saw table design

Before assembling a circular table with your own hands, you need to carefully consider its design. At this stage, your task comes down, first of all, to calculating the load that will be placed on the table in the future. When assembling a saw table with your own hands, consider the power of the unit. Thus, for high-power industrial tools, it is recommended to use a reinforced steel welded structure. In the case of a home saw, there is no need for such a powerful design. It will be enough to assemble a saw table with your own hands from boards and plywood.

When planning to make a saw table with your own hands, you need, as already noted, to take into account the power of the tool. In home workshops, saws with a power of up to 800 W are most often used. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the frequency and volume of work performed. For example, when building a house you will have to cut a lot more material than under any other conditions. Experts do not advise buying saws more powerful than 1200 W for your home. In the case of a home workshop, this simply does not make sense.

The higher the power of the circular saw and the higher the volume of work performed, the more reliable, durable and stable the table you create should be. Professional-grade circular saws are installed on bases made of metal profiles. In some cases, such tables are even embedded in the floor, since vibration may cause the operator to briefly lose control of the saw, which will be enough to cause injury. Creating such a table requires certain skills in working with special tools, welding, etc. Assembling a regular one wooden table for a home saw is available to almost every person, even if he does not have such experience.

Preparing to assemble the table

The most simple option The table for the circular table is a structure made of fairly thick plywood and boards. Plywood in in this case will be used to make a tabletop. The tabletop itself will be stationary. The tool needs to be installed under it. First, a slot is created in the lid along which the saw blade will move.

Choose the dimensions of the table, first of all, based on yourself. You should be comfortable and comfortable working. The instructions cover the average and most common sizes. You can change them at your discretion. The height of the table is 1-1.15 m. Choose the length taking into account the nature of future work. If you most often saw long boards, the table top should also be made long enough. If the length of the tabletop is more than 2 m, it is recommended to equip the structure with an additional pair of support legs. Without them, the table will vibrate strongly.

The thickness of the plywood used to make the tabletop should be from 5 cm. Plexiglas and fiberglass are suitable for the same purpose. From using chipboard craftsmen recommend refraining due to the insufficiently high strength of the material.

The lid is polished and varnished in several layers. Thanks to this, the required sliding of the processed materials will be ensured. The best option is the strengthening of a metal sheet on the tabletop. This will increase the reliability of the surface and extend the service life of the product as a whole.

Materials and tools for work

A table for a circular saw requires the presence of guides, which will ensure higher accuracy in cutting materials. The guides are made from a metal corner. Clamps are usually used to secure them to the tabletop. It is not recommended to make the guides stationary. It will be more convenient if you can change their position in the future.

Prepare materials for self-assembly of the table:

1. Plywood. If you wish, you can use a different material for the countertop.
2. Metal sheet.
3. Beam 50x50 mm.
4. Board 50x100 mm.
5. Clamps in the amount of 2 pcs.
6. Metal corner for making guides.

Pre-gather all the necessary tools:

1. Hacksaw. If possible, it is better to use a jigsaw instead.
2. Screwdriver.
3. Electric drill.
4. Hand cutter or machine. If you don't have them, you can do without them.
5. Tape measure and ruler for measurements.
6. Square.

After preparing all the tools and materials, you can begin assembly. homemade table. Some craftsmen use old dining and kitchen tables for this. But you shouldn’t count on great durability of such products. It’s better to do everything yourself, from scratch. So you can collect comfortable table, fully meeting your needs and requests.

Step-by-step instructions for assembling the table

Table circular saw from steel plate.

First you need to form the tabletop. Take a plywood sheet and make markings. The edges of the sheet should match the two edges of the lid. Cut out the workpiece with a hacksaw or jigsaw. If desired, process the cuts with a router. This is optional, so you can skip this step. In the case of a circular saw table, reliability is more important than good looks. appearance.Roughly sand the countertop using sandpaper.

At the bottom, prepare a slot for the disk. Measure the circular saw blade. To make it as convenient as possible, remove the saw blade from the tool and simply circle the required part of the saw.

After completing the arrangement of the seat, try on the slab and make the required adjustments. Mark the slot locations for saw blade and fasteners. If the disk must rise and fall, the table must be equipped with a pendulum mechanism. In this case, the shape of the slot should look like a truncated pyramid. The top of this kind of pyramid needs to be directed downward. To make the frame of the lifting mechanism, it is better to use metal corners welded to each other.

Assembling the frame and installing the legs

Next you need to make markings for the transverse and longitudinal slats. In the case of such a table, they act as stiffeners. Do it from the wrong side. The planks are made from timber. You need to prepare 2 longitudinal ribs. Select the length based on the length of the table top. It is enough to simply subtract 8-10 cm from it on each side. There should also be 2 transverse strips. To determine their length, subtract 8-10 cm from the width of the tabletop on each side.

Prepare sockets for self-tapping screws. The slats are fixed so that the lid protrudes about 8-10 cm beyond the edges of the frame. It is important to make the most reliable and durable fastening. Install the first self-tapping screw at a distance of 4-5 cm from the edge of the rail. The screws themselves are mounted in increments of 20-22 cm. The parts must be drilled through. The screw heads must be completely recessed into the tabletop material.

The transverse ribs are attached first. To ensure maximum reliability of the table, you must first coat the edges of the slats with wood glue. Tighten the structure with clamps and secure with self-tapping screws. Leave the table cover until completely dry, then install the longitudinal slats in the same way. Pull together the frame parts and install several fasteners on each side. After this you can remove the clamps.

To make the legs, use bars. The height of these elements is selected individually in accordance with the height of the operator. It is more convenient when the tabletop is located at hip level. Before installing the legs, plan them on one side so that the processed side goes to the corner. As a result, the base of the leg will have a little large area than the top.

It is best to use metal corners to secure the legs. You need to slightly press them in so that the base of the homemade table is positioned at odds. Thanks to this, the bed will become more stable. Fastening is done using bolts and washers. They need to be installed with their caps facing outwards. If installed differently, you may be injured by protruding fasteners during operation.

This will make the design even more reliable. The slats should be installed in pairs on the sides of the homemade table.

Thoroughly polish the surface of the countertop and cover it with several layers of varnish. Instead, you can use small screws to secure a smooth metal sheet.

Finally, the circular saw is installed in its intended place. Additionally, you can apply markings to the surface of the countertop, which will contribute to a more even and correct processing sawn material.

The control elements of such a machine must be placed on the outside of the tabletop. Usually they are fixed on some table leg. Completing this step of the job requires some electrical installation skills. If they are absent, it is recommended to contact an appropriate specialist.

Thus, in self-assembly table for a circular saw there is nothing complicated. This does not require much time or money. You will spend much less on materials than on a ready-made factory table, and the quality of the product, if you follow the instructions, will be no worse. Good luck!

A circular saw is used to cut wood.

Usage hand saw is not always comfortable, using a table allows you to make the sawing process smoother and more accurate

The cutting base has a disc-like plane equipped with an outer edge with teeth. There are models not only manual type, but also with the possibility of fixing on the table.

It is difficult to work with large volumes of wood with a regular circular saw, so it is better to place it on a table

There are several ways to acquire the latter for ease of manipulation. You can build a table for a circular saw yourself, strictly following a certain pattern.

Table arrangement for a circular saw

The table is made taking into account the fact that the hand tool will be installed and secured on the table, thereby turning into stationary equipment

Construction with my own hands element allows you to make the saw most suitable for individual conditions. There will be no difficulties in the process if you carefully study the issue. You can adjust the product to the desired size, distribute everything so that it is convenient for you.

Making a table for a circular saw is within the capabilities of every craftsman.

A handcrafted model will be one of a kind, which makes it unique.

Deciding on design and construction

The simplest version of a table for a circular table is a design made of fairly thick plywood and boards

The base can be made of wood or metal. Leaf tree species are chosen for the tabletop. A special hole should be made in it for the disk. The key property of the created table should be convenience.

Circular machine bed

Care should be taken to ensure its stability. No loosening is allowed, otherwise it will negatively affect safety. The tabletop should have the maximum flat surface. This will reduce the likelihood of injury while working.

A table for a circular saw requires the presence of guides

The structure can be supplemented with a special riving knife. He can be removed. It is equipped with a special disk protection that allows you to get rid of chips flying at the worker.

Some people remove the factory cover and replace the factory platform with a homemade one. If you are not going to cut at an angle, you can remove the parts that adjust the tilt of the blade.

Drawings

Diagram for making a table for a circular saw

Before starting work, it is recommended to go through preparatory stage. You should definitely make a drawing. This will make the design creation process easier. First, calculate the dimensions of the table, then transfer the data obtained to paper. The hole made in the structure must exactly match the dimensions of the saw. It all depends on the brand of equipment. Therefore, it is impossible to make a universal hole. The base must be stable and withstand mechanical loads well.

DIY table drawing for a circular table

It is unacceptable to overhang the structure to one side. The dimensions of the tabletop must be suitable for the sawing flow. The final option is determined based on individual desires. Some people work comfortably with a folding table or a product with small dimensions.

Drawing of a universal tabletop machine

The drawings should take into account important point. If you plan to leave tools or materials on the table while working, then the dimensions of the tabletop need to be increased to square meter in area. A suitable size would be 120 by 120 cm. You should draw the drawing carefully and slowly in order to do everything correctly.

Required materials

A homemade table can be made from wood

For such a table, wood, plywood or chipboard can be used. MDF and chipboard are also suitable. Some people prefer to choose steel or aluminum.

Steel plate table saw

It is not recommended to use plastic; it is completely unsuitable for a table of this purpose. If wood is chosen, then after completing the assembly the product should be treated with a special antiseptic composition. This will provide reliable protection from moisture and help avoid rotting.

To make a saw table yourself, you need to prepare the materials.

1. Selected raw materials for the base. The thickness should be 21 mm.
2. The timber required for the frame. Will do edged board 3 meters long with dimensions 50 by 150 mm. A total of 5 pieces are needed.
3. Dowels made of wood with dimensions of 10 cm. At least 12 pieces.
4. Wood glue.
5. Metal fasteners in the amount of 4 pieces.
6. Metal corners. 10 pieces are enough.
7. Self-tapping screws.

These elements must be prepared in advance and placed near the workplace.

Required Tools

In addition to materials, you should prepare tools.

Among them:

1. pencil and marker;
2. measuring instruments including meter and tape measure;
3. jigsaw;
4. hand router;
5. grinding machine;
6. sandpaper (must have medium or fine grain);
7. plane and drill;
8. screwdriver

You need to prepare everything in advance and keep it on hand throughout the entire process.

Manufacturing process: step-by-step instructions

To make a quality structure, you need to follow some tips. The process consists of several steps presented in the table.

Steps	Description
1	The block should be leveled on all sides using a plane. Then the frame of the future table is assembled from it. Several 5 mm holes need to be drilled in each side of the tabletop. Additionally, one through one is made for the legs of the product.
2	The drawers have several holes of the same diameter. In the legs one through one is made. The diameter remains the same, 5 mm.
3	Proceed to install the dowels into the tabletop. Before this, they are coated with wood glue. The legs and drawers are placed on top. If there are clamps with ties, the product should be secured using them. When the glue has completely dried, you need to fasten the drawers and legs using special metal fasteners. Additionally, it should be tightened with self-tapping screws. You can add reliability and strength to the structure by using corners. They will become an element of additional fastening and give the product stability. For the short side, 2 pieces are enough, and for the long side, 3 are suitable.
4	The next step involves securing the saw to the workpiece with inside. There are several methods to accomplish the task. M4 bolts or bars with self-tapping screws are suitable for fastening. The first case is fast and reliable. The second method does not require additional holes, eliminating the need for drilling. You need to make a cut in bars, the width of which is equal to the dimensions of the saw platform. Next, self-tapping screws and bars on both sides fasten the equipment and the tabletop
5	After installing the saw, you will need another block larger size. It is secured to the base of the structure using self-tapping screws. Screwing is carried out on the marks made when setting the platform in a level position. These manipulations will help, when removing the saw, to return it usually quickly without searching for markings
6	The saw blade is installed in its proper place. The base is sawed to obtain a longitudinal hole. Then the product must be turned over
7	Then production begins rip fence. Two strips are sawn off from the plywood. Their length should match the width of the table. On average, these dimensions are 10 cm. The corners should be rounded
8	The resulting strips are polished. They need to be fastened at an angle with self-tapping screws. A metal corner should be screwed inside
9	If you need to attach a stop to the base and the structure will be used frequently, you should attach the guide so that it is perpendicular to the disk. Attach the roller to the bottom. This will allow him to move.

First make sure the saw is securely fastened, only then turn it on. Do not hold the cut material with your hands. This will help prevent wood from hitting your face when the knots start to bounce. Additionally, it is recommended to use special safety glasses when working.

For safety, be sure to wear safety glasses

Specified simple tips will help avoid injuries in the workplace.

A circular saw is a tool that no craftsman can do without. Such a unit is especially necessary in the country or in country house. But work hand tools It’s not always convenient, and branded machines are quite expensive. A way out of the situation may be to independently manufacture such a device. The basis of this home machine can become not only manual circular saw, but also a grinder or even a drill.

Making a table for a circular saw with your own hands will cost much less than a ready-made store-bought version.

It’s not at all difficult to assemble a frame for a circular saw that is quite simple in design with your own hands. To make it you will need the simplest lumber and very little time.

Saw frame design

Before considering the design of the future machine, it is necessary to calculate the load that will fall on it. Because the main thing in such a frame is stability and reliability. For powerful industrial saws, the base is a reinforced welded steel structure. But such a unit is not needed for a home workshop. If you are just planning to assemble your own woodworking machine, then you should take into account the basic parameters of the tool itself. After all, saws are different, and, accordingly, the design of the table should be different.

First of all, you need to consider the power of the tool. Typically, for a home workshop, a unit is chosen whose parameters do not exceed 800 W. But, for example, when building a house or cottage, a fairly large volume of wood has to be cut. At the same time, the power of the circular saw should be greater. But experts do not recommend purchasing saws whose characteristics are higher than 1200 W. There is no justification for installing such a tool in a private workshop. And working on it will only increase energy costs.

Remember: the higher the productivity of your machine, the more stable the base for it should be. For professional circular saws, a base assembled from a metal profile is usually installed. Sometimes such frames are even built into the floor. Because vibration of the machine can lead to situations dangerous to life and health.

Nuances to consider

The second parameter for choosing a saw is the depth of the intended cut. The thickness of the lumber processed on your machine depends on it. This parameter of professional and semi-professional models ranges from 4 to 7 cm. This is enough for sawing boards and even fairly thick plywood. But it will be inconvenient to process logs on such a machine. In addition, it is worth considering that this characteristic of a saw built into the frame with your own hands is reduced. The depth of the cut becomes smaller by about 1 cm. But this can be changed if the design of the table includes the ability to raise or lower the disk.

When choosing a tool, it is necessary to take into account its rotation frequency. If you need a circular saw for workpieces building material, then this parameter may be lower. When you need an even and clean cut, the rotation speed must be high enough. This is necessary, for example, for making furniture. But even this situation has its own nuances. For processing plastic materials This type of saw will not work. Due to too high tool speeds, the disc heats up and the plastic melts. Therefore, it is worth choosing a unit whose rotation speed does not exceed 4000 rpm; in this case, the table for a circular saw can be assembled from wood. The vibration of such a machine is insignificant and additional reinforcement of the frame is not required.

The last thing to consider when self-production woodworking machine, this is the location of buttons and other controls. When assembling a circular saw with your own hands, remember that access to the controls must be safe. This rule is especially relevant if the tool is installed at the bottom of the tabletop. In this case, it makes more sense to install the panel with switches on the outside of the machine. Or provide a rising tabletop. This design will also help in servicing the unit. After you have taken into account all the little details and nuances, you can proceed directly to making the table.

Preparatory stage of work

The simplest version of a table for a circular saw is a structure assembled from boards and fairly thick plywood from which the tabletop is made. In this case, the tool itself is fixed at the bottom of a stationary (non-rising) tabletop. There is a special slot in the frame cover for the disk. A drawing of such a machine is shown in Fig. 1.

The dimensions for the bed can be changed so that it is convenient for you to work. Taken as an example average height table. It is 100-115 cm. But much depends on the height of the person who will work with the tool. In addition, the length of the tabletop can also be changed as desired. If you plan to work with boards whose length exceeds 2.5 m, then the table top should be larger. Then it is necessary to make changes to the structure itself and add an additional pair of supports (legs). Otherwise the bed will vibrate too much.

For the countertop, you can take plywood, whose thickness should be at least 50 mm. But you can also use fiberglass slabs and plexiglass. But experts do not recommend using chipboard, since this material is not strong enough.

The table top can be polished and coated with several layers of varnish. This will ensure sufficient sliding of the sawn materials. But it is much wiser to strengthen a sheet of iron on the tabletop. Then the surface of the bed will be much more reliable, and the machine will last you longer.

Required materials and tools

For a woodworking machine, it is necessary to provide guides. They will help you cut the material accurately. This structure is welded from a metal corner and secured to the tabletop with clamps.

It is not recommended to install stationary guides, because in the future you will not be able to change their position.

To make a table you will need the following materials:

• sheet of plywood (countertop made of another material);
• sheet of iron;
• board with a section of 5*10 cm;
• timber with a section of 5*5 cm;
• clamps - 2 pcs;
• metal corner for guides;
• hand circular saw.

In addition, it is wiser to prepare in advance all the tools that will be needed to make the table:

• jigsaw or hacksaw;
• electric drill, screwdriver;
• milling machine or hand cutter (you can do without this tool);
• measuring instruments (ruler, square, tape measure).

When everything you need is ready, you can proceed directly to assembling the table. Some craftsmen make frames from old kitchen or dining tables. But such a design is unlikely to last long enough. Therefore, it is much more reasonable to make all the parts yourself. At the same time, you can take into account your individual needs.

Assembling the saw table

The manufacture of the frame begins with the formation of the tabletop. The plywood sheet is marked so that 2 edges of the cover coincide with the edges of the sheet. The workpiece is cut out using a jigsaw or hacksaw. If desired, the edge of the cut can be processed with a milling cutter. But this operation is not mandatory. Because the main parameter in a table for a circular saw is its reliability, not its beauty. The table top is being processed sandpaper"roughly".

A slot for the disk is marked on the underside of the tabletop. To do this, you first need to measure the dimensions of the unit’s sole. The easiest way to do this is to remove the blade from the tool and simply trace the required part of the saw. These parameters are necessary to form the seat.

By using hand cutter choose wood to a depth of approximately 0.8-1 cm. If you do not have such a tool, then the work can be done using a chisel, but it will take much more time.

After seat When done, be sure to try on the saw, adjusting the recess if necessary. Mark the locations for fixing the fasteners and the slots for the disk. If you want the saw blade to lower and rise at your request, then you need to build pendulum mechanism for the table. In this case, the slot should have the shape of a truncated pyramid. Moreover, the hypothetical top of this figure is directed downward. An example of a drawing of such a design with a belt drive is shown in Fig. 2. It makes more sense to make the frame itself for the lifting mechanism from metal corners, which are welded together.

A circular saw is a tool that no one can do without. home handyman. This equipment is especially relevant for country house or dachas. But work manual machine It’s not always convenient, and factory machines are quite expensive.

A way out of this situation may be to make this device yourself. The basis of this machine can be not only a hand-held circular saw, but even an electric drill or grinder.

Making a bed for a circular saw with your own hands is very simple. For production you will need the most regular lumber and quite a bit of time.

Before you think about the design of the upcoming machine, you need to calculate the load to which it will be subjected. The main thing in the bed is reliability and stability. For powerful production saws, the base is a welded reinforced metal structure. But you don’t need such a unit to use it yourself.

If you have just decided to make your own woodworking machine, then you need take into account the main parameters equipment. Since saws can be different, naturally, the design of the bed can also be different.

First of all you need determine the power of the tool. As a rule, for home use, equipment is chosen whose power parameters do not exceed 850 Watts. But, for example, when building a dacha or country house, it is often necessary to cut very large number wood

That is, more circular power is required. But experienced craftsmen It is not recommended to buy saws where this figure is more than 1250 watts. Installing this equipment in a home workshop is absolutely not justified. And working on it will only increase electricity costs.

The greater the productivity of the machine, the more stable the base is needed. For professional circular saws, as a rule, a base is installed, welded from steel profile. Sometimes these frames are even concreted into the floor. Because vibration of the device can cause danger to life.

Technical features of circular machines

Depth of the proposed cut. The thickness of the material that will be processed on your machine depends on this parameter. This indicator in semi-professional and professional machines fluctuates in the range of 5-8 cm. For cutting boards and thick plywood, this is quite enough.

But working with logs on this machine will no longer be convenient. In addition, you need to take into account that this characteristic has homemade saw decreases. The depth of the cut will be approximately 1 cm less. But this can be avoided if you provide in the table frame the ability to lower or raise the disk.

When making a tool with your own hands, you need take into account the frequency of its rotation. If you need a circular saw to prepare building materials, then this figure may be less. If a clean and even cut is needed, then the rotation speed is needed quite high. This is needed, for example, for making furniture.

But even in this case, there are certain nuances. This saw is not suitable for cutting plastic materials. Because of the very high speed tool the disk is warming up, and the plastic begins to melt.

Therefore, it is better to choose a device where the rotation speed is no more than 4500 rpm; in this case, the bed for a circular saw can be make from wood. The vibration of this machine is low and additional reinforcement of the table is not required.

Well, in the end, what needs to be considered is the location of the buttons and other controls on your machine. When assembling the saw with your own hands, do not forget that access to the control panel must be safe. This rule is even more important when the open part of the saw is located at the bottom of the tabletop.

In this design, it is best to place the panel with switches from the outside of the machine or make a rising tabletop. This design is also convenient for servicing the device. Then, when you have taken into account all the nuances and little things, you can begin directly assembling the table.

Making a circular saw with your own hands

The simplest version of the frame for a circular saw is a structure made of boards and thick plywood. Moreover, the tool is directly attached to the bottom of the stationary table top. A special slot is made in the table top for the saw.

The dimensions of the table can be changed according to how convenient it is for you to work on it. As an example, an average table is described, the height of which is 110−120 cm. But a lot depends on the height of the person working with the equipment. You can also change the length of the tabletop according to your wishes.

If you plan to work with boards that are longer than 2.6 m, then the cover on the frame will need more. In this case, changes must be made directly to the design and additionally add some supports(legs). Otherwise, the table will create strong vibrations.

For countertops usually plywood is used, which has a thickness of at least 5 cm. But you can also choose plexiglass or fiberglass slabs. But professionals do not recommend using chipboard; this material is not reliable enough.

Tools and materials for assembly

For a circular saw you need mandatory provide guides. They help cut wood much more accurately. This design welded from angle steel and fixed to the lid with clamps.

It is not advisable to attach stationary guides, since in the future you will not be able to change their position.

To build a table you will need the following materials:

• sheet of iron;
• plywood sheet;
• timber measuring 50×50 mm;
• board size 50×100 mm;
• steel corner for guides;
• two clamps;
• hand circular saw.

You also need to first prepare all the tools that will be needed to assemble the table:

1. Screwdriver, electric drill.
2. Hacksaw or electric jigsaw.
3. Tools for measurements (tape measure, square, ruler).
4. Hand cutter or milling machine.

When everything is prepared, you can begin assembling the table itself. Sometimes craftsmen assemble countertops from unnecessary dining or kitchen tables. But this design is unlikely to last long. Therefore, it is much more reasonable to make all the design elements yourself. In this case, you can also take into account your personal needs.

Making a table top for a circular saw

Assembling the table begins with making the tabletop. The plywood sheet is marked so that the two edges of the lid are the same size as the edges of the iron sheet. Plywood is cut out using a hacksaw or jigsaw.

The edge of the cut can be processed with a milling cutter, but this operation is not necessary. Since in the frame the main parameter is reliability, and not an attractive appearance. The tabletop is rubbed “roughly” with sandpaper.

Mark the bottom of the tabletop slot for circular circle . To do this, you first need to measure the dimensions of the sole of the unit. The easiest way to do this is to unscrew the disk from the device and simply circle the desired part of the saw. These measurements are required to determine the seat.

Using a hand cutter, the bars are selected to a depth of approximately 0.9−1.1 cm. If you do not have a cutter, then this work can be done using a chisel, but it will take much more time.

Then, when the seat is made, try the saw on and, if necessary, adjust the recess. Mark the slot locations for the circle and fixing the fasteners. If you need the circle to rise and fall, then you need install the pendulum mechanism for the countertop.

In this case, the slot must be made in the form truncated pyramid. In this case, the hypothetical top of the pyramid will be directed downward. Directly frame for lifting mechanism best make from steel corners , which are welded to each other.

Making a table frame

The markings for fixing the transverse and longitudinal slats, which serve as stiffening ribs, are best installed on the underside of the tabletop. The planks themselves are made from timber. You will need:

• Two transverse parts, length equal to the width of the table top minus 7-9 cm on each side.
• Two longitudinal ribs, the size equal to the length of the lid minus 7-9 cm on each side.

Then you need make sockets for self-tapping screws. The slats must be fixed on the lid so that the tabletop extends 7-9 cm beyond the edges of the frame. The fasteners must be as reliable and durable as possible.

The first fastener should be installed approximately 40-50 mm from the edge of the rail. The distance between the screws is approximately 23-25 ​​cm. All details need to drill through. The self-tapping screw is attached to the side of the lid so that its head is completely recessed into the wood.

First, the transverse ribs are secured. In order for the table top to be as strong as possible, the edges of the slats must first be apply wood glue. The structure is fixed with clamps, and without removing them, screws are screwed in.

Allow the tabletop to dry completely. Afterwards, the longitudinal slats are installed in the same way. Then the parts of the frame are pulled together, installing two fasteners on each side. Now the clamps can be removed.

Attaching the legs (supports)

The table legs are made of timber. The height of the supports is selected individually. In practice, it is most convenient to work at the machine when the tabletop located at hip level. Before fastening, each support must be planed so that the leg goes down to an angle from below. So, the area of ​​the base of the support should be slightly larger, in contrast to the area of ​​the top.

It is best to secure the legs using steel corners. They need to be pressed a little so that the base of the machine is in the “spacer”. This gives the table extra durability. Bolts with washers are used as fasteners; they are secured with their heads facing outward. Otherwise, during work you can be injured by the protruding parts of the fasteners.

The whole structure will be more stable if additional supports are tightened with diagonal slats. They are attached in pairs on each side of the machine.

Cover surface polished and varnished or use a steel sheet for coating, which is attached to self-tapping screws. At the very end, the instrument is attached directly to the prepared place.

On the table top you can make additional markings, it will help you cut wood smoothly and correctly. The control panel of the circular saw is located on outside machine As a rule, it is mounted on one of the table legs. That's all, your DIY circular saw is ready.

A hand-held circular saw is a powerful tool with high performance. One of the main advantages of a circular saw - maneuverability becomes a disadvantage when it is necessary to cut large volumes of wood. To make the process easier, you can easily assemble your circular saw table yourself.

Table structure

The design of a table for a hand-held circular saw is so simple that most craftsmen make it without preliminary drawings and diagrams. This is a sturdy workbench that is made of wood and plywood. The most reliable table bases are made of metal. They are the heaviest and require welding skills. Therefore, stands are often made from waste lumber. A circular saw is attached under the tabletop, the blade protrudes above it through a specially made slot. The lumber is advanced along the tabletop and cut with a rotating disk. For convenience and accuracy of work, the table is equipped with additional accessories: corner and longitudinal stop.

The tabletop “eats” part of the working surface of the disk, the depth of cut will decrease by the thickness of the tabletop. Therefore, it is advisable to select a circular saw with a maximum disc diameter, and a table top that is thin but hard.

If you haven’t purchased a saw yet, choose models with high power (from 1200 W). They can handle cutting large volumes of wood. Holes will be drilled in the sole for mounting; the cast base may crack. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a tool with a stamped sole.

Selection of materials

To do good stand for a hand-held circular saw, you should remember your carpentry skills, be patient and have a small amount of materials:

• laminated plywood 15 - 20 mm;
• timber 50 x 50;
• board;
• switch;
• external socket;
• a piece of electrical cable;
• PVA glue;
• wood varnish (if the plywood is not laminated);
• self-tapping screws

And tools:

• jigsaw;
• screwdriver;
• drill;
• ruler.

The size of the countertop will depend on the size of the workshop. At the same time, too small table It will be inconvenient to saw long sections. If the part fits entirely on the working surface, the cut is smoother and more accurate. The height of the legs is selected depending on the height of the master.

For a small workshop, a tabletop design with approximate dimensions of 50 x 50 x 25 cm is convenient.

Table manufacturing process

1. We cut out a tabletop of the required size from a sheet of laminated plywood. The markings are applied to the lower plane using a metal ruler and pencil. We cut the plywood with a jigsaw, milling the edges if necessary. If the plywood is not laminated, sand the surface of the table.
2. Turn it over and make markings from the bottom for fastening manual circular saw. To do this, remove the disk from the tool and place it with the sole in the required place. We make marks on the tabletop and on the sole for fasteners and a groove for the saw blade. Drill holes for the bolts. They will be screwed from above, through the tabletop and held in place with nuts from below. Therefore, we countersink the holes on the working surface side and grind the bolt heads so that they do not protrude.
3. If you plan to cut material for different angles, the slot for the saw wheel is made in the shape of an inverted trapezoid. For smooth sawing, a regular groove is made. Before cutting the slot and holes for fasteners, apply a saw, adjust the marks and only then cut.
4. Mark with a pencil the locations of the stiffeners. They are made from boards and installed from below, 8 - 9 cm from the edge of the tabletop. We will attach the table legs to the ribs. The ribs are fixed with self-tapping screws at intervals of 15 - 25 centimeters, and additionally glued with PVA. Self-tapping screws are screwed in from above, through the tabletop, and the heads are completely recessed. The ribs are fastened together with long self-tapping screws.
5. The legs of the table are made of a block or board; their length will be from 100 to 113 cm. Legs that diverge slightly downwards will give greater stability. They are fixed with large bolts, tightened from the outside, and secured from the inside with nuts. The timber ties will further strengthen the frame.
6. To adjust the height of the table, nuts are attached to the bottom into which M14 bolts are screwed.
7. Now you can fix the saw from below by inserting the disk into the prepared slot.
8. We attach an electrical outlet to the inside of the table and pass it through electrical wire and install the switch in a convenient place (on the outer part of the stiffener). Power to the outlet will be supplied from the switch. We stretch a wire from it to the nearest power source in the workshop. Using a construction tie, we fix the ON-OFF button on the body of the circular saw in a recessed position.

Let's start making auxiliary stops. For longitudinal stop will be needed aluminum pipe square section No. 30 and two screws with wing nuts.

1. We saw off a piece of pipe along the length of the tabletop, and cut holes for screws 3 cm from the edge.
2. We cut out two clamps from pieces of plywood. The structure is ready.
3. For sawing across the table, we make a plywood sled. We align them with the edges of the table, press them and move them along the toothed circle. We cut a groove where the circle passes through the slide. Small parts can be placed directly inside the slide and sawed.

Dust removal is organized from under the table, but most of the dust flies from above, so it’s a good idea to supplement the device with an upper dust extractor.

Work for circular saw is very dangerous, so care must be taken to protect your fingers. From a piece of board or furniture board cut out the pusher.

Additions to the design

This design can be supplemented with a riving knife, which will be removed. Put a disk guard on it, which cuts off the flow of chips flying directly at the carpenter.

Some craftsmen, when assembling a table according to unique drawings, completely remove the factory protective casing and replace the factory platform with a homemade one. If you do not plan to cut at an angle, you can remove all the devices for adjusting the tilt of the disk. The saw is fixed directly on the new base, which allows you to gain a few millimeters of cutting depth.
