In this video I take you through the build of my portable combination table. It is a table saw, router table, and mitre saw stand that can fold up to maximize the available space in your shop and it is portable! The tools are interchanged with a series of plates similar to table saw throat plates that the tools mount to on the bottom. You can simply swap plates to change over to a different tool, or you can mount your mitre saw to the table top for a secure mitre saw stand. The table features an extension arm for long pieces on the table saw or even to support long work pieces on the mitre saw. When you are done, fold it up and put it away, or move it to the next spot in your shop where you have more room!
In Part 2 of this video series, I will take you through the fence portion of this build. It uses a convenient and easy to use thumbscrew system to control the amount of play in the motion as well as the clamping aspect of the fence.
I will also show you guys my 3D printed accessories like the vertical featherboard, and sliding mitre gauge. Other 3D printed parts include the remote battery access and emergency stop panel for the circular saw. This is probably my favorite part of the build!
To add to the safety of the table saw, I've also installed a stainless steel table saw splitter to prevent kickback from the saw blade.
Finally, we will test the table out and build a small project box to house a 3D printed container to hold the table hardware.
Why did I call it the Sinister Saw? Some of you may notice that the fence is mounted on the left hand side of the table saw blade. "Sinister" means "left" in classical Latin. Why did I mount it on the left side? In the Part 1 intro, I explain that I am using a Ryobi cordless saw for the table saw and that this saw has a bevel cut bracket that only rotates in one direction. When you mount it under the table, the direction of the blade dictates which side you can safely mount the fence. You do not want to tilt the blade towards the fence as you are at a much higher risk of kickback. Therefore, I was forced to mount the fence on the left hand side of the blade which doesn't bother me!

This build took quite a bit of time and effort, but I like to make my design files available for free for everyone! Please check out the link below for all of the 3D printed parts as well as the drawings for each of the fence components featured in this video.
