Re: Table saw cart...

Nice! I like the way you've housed the front caster and allowed it to rotate within the enclosure, and the choice of 3 contact points is great for uneven surfaces. There are 4 casters... the small section is for the saw, large end supports the extension table and will be a shelf. There will be 6 le...

Re: Plasma Circle guide

Thanks,
Everything was ordered from McMaster-Carr .... probably spent $50 with a couple revisions!

Should be easy enough for the center pin, but I wanted the magnet to help keep the torch vertical that is the main reason for the needle bearing holding the torch.
