Bought a saw. Time to build a work bench.

So I bought a piece of shit Skilsaw 10" tablesaw off FB for $65. I say this with love because this model has been sold under every brand name under the sun including craftsman and is now sold as a harbor freight special using the top cast that the craftsman model did. But it doesn't seem to have any play so after adjusting it, should be good to go.

The only place I can think to use it is our backroom which is tiny. The current table is 30" deep by 5.5' long. So I designed a table that gives me 2' of rip capacity on the left and then goes back down to 30" for the router table:

This is the room it has to go into. The shelves, the cabinet and pretty much anything else you see is leaving except the sink and washer/dryer:

dahm you got a harry potter situation. but it can be done.

I didnt know you were a crafty guy

It can be done, just maybe needs some re-arranging. Maybe take out some of the stuff in there first, find a good spot, then put the other stuff back (you may need to be creative with those lol)

I just don't have a full equipped shop. Kind of stalls most of my ideas. I learned wood working the same place I learned CAD. In aviation and aerospace design lol. We had to build and fly a powered model air plane. Drawing it is one thing. Making it with your hands and being air worthy is another.

well one thing for sure.. your cad skills are off the chain!

I am pretty good with furniture. I am bad at math and art so when it comes to organic shapes that wouldn't result from basic machining techniques I can't do shit. Luckily if its something that exists there are vasts libraries of models out there to mix with whatever you are making. Lost knowledge now but the way we were taught CAD was similar to how you would dial a cut into a CNC machine. Which would produce some shapes I am not any good at drawing now.

I have the same table saw that is on your workbench. I could never cut a straight line with it.

Skillsaw 3310? Have you unbolted the mount from the top and squared the entire assembly? Mark one tooth and use it on both ends of the throat. Measure from the kerf. You need to do this at both 90 and 45. Use your combination square to set the angle. Once you get the blade squared then check and set your bevel angle marker. After that a little advice on the fence. It's a piece of shit but I find pushing the back end to one side from the front squares it up pretty well.

It's not a great saw but you will find a lot of people don't set it up either. You can build a house with it but not a kitchen. If you have play in the arbor and want a straight cut mind as well throw it away lol.
