Default Re: Cheap but EXCELLENT conversion for HF MINI 4 Table Saw

Thanks for the interesting and useful link Henry.

I've had one of these saws for a while now and for cutting the assortment of timber sizes that are the most common with kits I'm quite impressed with it. I too switched the blade for a finer B&D one I happened to have in my toolbox and I cobbled together a fence from a 6" stainless steel ruler and a couple of small C clamps.

My next project is likely to be a scratch built Maine Lobster Boat and I'm planning on using the saw to rip down some pine for hull planking. With this job in mind I'm also looking to build a bigger bed and a better fence and I'm thinking of using a kitchen type resin cutting / chopping board... I reckon it's an ideal material for most of what I have in mind.
