Crafting Custom Work Tables For Radial Arm Saws: A Comprehensive Guide | ShunTool

"The tabletop is a crucial component of your radial arm saw table. It provides a stable surface for cutting operations and is subject to frequent blade penetration. The ideal tabletop should be made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of handling. Plywood is another option but may splinter over time."
"The legs of your work table provide stability and balance. Typically, 2x4 lumber cut into equal lengths will serve as sturdy legs for your table."
"The frame of your work table provides structural integrity and supports the tabletop. It is typically constructed using 2x4 lumber for the length and 1x4 lumber for creating a lip around the tabletop edge."
"The fence is an essential component of your radial arm saw table, providing a guide for the material being cut. It should be installed perpendicular to the vertical plane of the saw blade when set to the cross-cutting position. A recommended material for the fence is a 2.5-inch wide piece of MDF set on edge, providing a straight and durable guide."

"What is the best height for a radial arm saw table in a garage shop?
Aim for 34-36 inches—elbow height when standing. Adjust ±2″ for your stature; my 5’10” frame loves 35″."

"How do I ensure my fence is perfectly square?
To ensure your fence is perfectly square, unplug your saw. Lower the blade to the table surface. Use a high-quality machinist’s square or a known accurate framing square. Place one arm of the square against the blade (with teeth pointing away for safety) and the other against the fence. Adjust the fence until it is perfectly square to the blade’s travel path. Make test cuts on scrap material and measure for true squareness."

"Power saws go out of alignment through the vibration that accompanies use. Also, radial arm saws do not like to be moved, and settings will probably drift when one is moved. But, a lot depends on how much precision the user is looking to have from his saw. If you plan to use the saw only to cut 2 x 4s to length, the accuracy you need is not the same as if you were doing fine cabinetmaking with the saw."
"This is my homemade stand constructed of 2 x 4 pieces and plywood cleats. I made it to take down easily, so the brace pieces attach with corner brackets and wood screws. I made two tool trays that rest on cleats inside the frame assemblies of the stand."
"Use a good square to check the travel of the blade so it is at 90 degrees to the fence. Pull the motor down the length of the arm. The blade should lightly touch the square the length of travel. Flip the square over and check from the other side of the blade, too."
""Heel" means the blade moves through the wood cocked a little to one side. Heel results in burn marks on at least one side of the cut. You can also detect heel when the blade kicks up splinters as it exits the cut at the rear of the cut.
Use a framing square to check for heel. Set one leg against the fence. Bring the other leg against the saw blade. If there is no heel, the square and the saw blade will meet consistently from the front of the blade to the rear. If there is a "V"-shaped gap, the blade has some heel that will need to be removed."
