: hello people I just took all your ideas and rooled them into one.I used a piece of 3/4 inch plywood 24by 28 .then i built a box out of 2 by 10 20by 24 to mount it on top of .then i routed a section of plywood down to 3/8 to mount the saw to in the centre of the plywood.I used 4 bolt to attach the saw with then screwed and glued the ply to the planks and the 2 inch over hang on each side is perfect to clamp down a fence withi've done a semi fair amt of cutting and have burned out one circ saw doing
: this. Its pretty easy to get carried away and use it as a table saw and
: over stress the poor little thing.

: you do not want to reach under to turn on or off - mount a receptacle or near
: the front to plug in so you can pull out real quick. i used an ordinary
: switch w/ a plug, but one shoul be slightly careful abt sparking under
: full load.

: the biggest safety drawback to using circ saws is the guard and shield when
: upside down make an enclosed gutter around the blade that can and does
: fill up w/ detritus and not fall freely away like a regular. so keep an
: eye peeled.
