Default SAW SLED QUESTION

Thu, Nov 3, 2005, 11:28pm (EST-2) s did spaketh thusly:
make sure that when the cutoff releases, it goes away from the blade.
I'm pretty sure you were planning for that, but I couldn't quite tell
from your description. kickbacks suck, and I'd hate for the wreck to
lose it's official resident 'ol fart...

Already planned for. There'll be a small "ledge" about 1/4=1/2" or
so, on the right side of the blade. The cut piece should tip right off
of that, as soon as the cut is complete, into the cutout part - the
ledge will hold it place until the cut is finished, then it tips. I
think. I only want to do this once, so been doing a lot of thinking on
it. The back of the cutout part will b closed under the one fence, open
under the other, so the piece will be "automatically" pushed out - not
sure under which fence - each has merits. The right side of the cutout
will be closed - I think the cutout will only need to be an inch or 2
wider than the cut piece, but be easy enough to enlarge it a bit if need
be. Any suggestions for color(s) if I decide to paint it?

And, you obviously have me confused with someone else..
