Just a few more little things, and my sawing table is almost done. For the moment I'm waiting on a new cutter/mill

The long narrow table is ready for use The purpose of this table is to put on my drill press, grinder and mill.

What I also wanted is that I could move these devices to where I wanted without them being loose on the table, so it’s more easy to fall off.

When I ordered the aluminium I saw they sell Teflon gliders as well, so I bought some.

Of course, this didn’t fit in the profile I needed, don’t ask me why. The benefit was the fit was too small, and I could make this work with the uppermill.

On the left you can see I made the slot bigger.

This was an easy task, but you have to do it in a safe way

I mounted the teflon plate on a piece of aluminium.

So I could keep it all under control. The 2 large sunken holes you see, I made to fit my fingers, this way I have the most grip.

Here’s the result

Then I cut slabs of solid core (volkern) where the units will be mounted.

I also tuned the drill a bit…

I wanted a big plate where I could clamp things on.

First I made a mold of MDF in the shape that I needed, and after that I had to mill everything with the copy-mill, simple.

In the background you can see the volkern plateb where the aluminum comes will come to rise.

The black screw is to secure the plate onto the drill.

Here you can also see that, wherever I want, I can put threaded busses i, to mount things. Very handy if you ask me..

In the center there will rest a piece of 16 mm MDF…This I made pretty big (9cm), so I wouldn’t drill into my aluminium. Once the block is wore out, I’ll put in a new one. I made myself some stock 

Because I only wanted 1 screw to tighten the plate, I made this at the bottomside.

This fits perfectly onto the drillingtable.

Since I now have a greater table on my drill, I couldn’t operate the handle to lift or descend the table, anymore.

This came against my aluminium plate of course.

I was able to extend it with a piece of aluminium I had lying around here…

Note the black screw at the bottom.

Here you can see the massive slab where the drill is on.

I also made a glider to put on the aluminum plate. Here I can do anything I want with it

I’ve made another insertion plate form my router (uppermill). This plate will be mounted on the side of the table. More about this later.

I didn’t want ANY screws in that plate. The plate itself, is kept at it’s place by 4 magnets, which are mounted in every corner.

P1010012_resize_zpsb0246687.jpg

The hole where the insert plate will come needed to be as accurate as possible. This can be done in a fairly simple way.

You tape the insert plate, puts the plate at the right spot and just let everything fill with polyester resin.

Once everything has hardened, you gently knock it out. The thickness of the tape is the only level you have, so extremely little!

The 4 screws I fitted with rubbers. So I can insert the plate that it fits nicely with the top of the table. On those screws, the magnets will rest.

P1010016_resize_zps57c08a79.jpg

This system, I also applied for the rings that surround the mill. First, I machined an aluminum ring, and then pressed in the magnets.

P1010027_resize_zpsb5dd6bf8.jpg

P1010029_resize_zps37ccd765.jpg

In the foreground you see the different rings that I have. These are from INCRA, and I can now use them in my plate.

P1010031_resize_zpse7659205.jpg

Here you can see how everything looks, and the work and hours I put into it, paid off.

Now I just have to wait for the aluminum where this plate shall rest on.

I’m going to send a post-pigeon to Germany this weekend (MOTEDIS)

My multifunctional table is finally ready. I knew this wasn’t an easy task, since I had no experience with this what so ever.

This is how it turned out.

P1010051_resize_zpseddfdee9.jpg

The milling-part

P1010053_resize_zps9f508937.jpg

I also added a glider here.

P1010064_resize_zps93c92526.jpg

P1010065_resize_zps9853a375.jpg

The lines you see, are 1cm apart from each other, and the depth is cause of the white layer of volkern.

A looooooooooooot of work went into this.

P1010054_resize_zps6d059f4a.jpg

In the T-Track you can also glide in some clamps.

P1010068_resize_zpsce89eaf8.jpg

The sawing part.

P1010056_resize_zpsd4276d45.jpg

I kept the space between the sawing blade, and the volkern as minimal as possible.

P1010085_resize_zps14f418a1.jpg

P1010086_resize_zps0b88d785.jpg

When I need to set the saw into a corner, I just need to remove the tiny plat around the blade. But I’m guessing this won’t happen very often.

P1010057_resize_zpsa1976279.jpg

P1010058_resize_zps6474c7ce.jpg

P1010059_resize_zps05a30f8b.jpg

Here with the setting I made myself, and it worked perfectly.

P1010062_resize_zps94763c86.jpg

Since the legs of the table are not on the ends, I had some problem mounting my sockets.

But I’ve managed to solve this in a descent way (for me)

I’ve mounted everything on an iron flexible tube, and so I can put the outlets where and how I want.

P1010045_resize_zps8a35a632.jpg

P1010069_resize_zps959223af.jpg

Here you see that the INCRA millingplate is on aluminum brackets.

P1010074_resize_zpse589d777.jpg

The cutter I recently purchased.

This is a Triton 2400 watts.

I bought this specifically because I thought it could handle this easy from above.

This also doesn’t come out under the table anymore too.

This table was one of the hardest things I've made in my new workshop.

Finally, it all needed to be 100% correct (and it is). The micrometer has served well, and without this little device you're nowhere.

P1000706_resize_zps97c077a5.jpg

What rests now is to buy a rubber mat of 4mm thick to put on the table. It is after all a work table after all.

Now I just need to make some little stuff here and there’s, and also need to do some painting. Once this is done I will post pictures of everything.
