well i just thought i'd post a picture of the chop saw table/metal rack i threw together. i had a bunch of old steel sitting around from other projects so i decided to build a chop saw table. i still had to buy the casters and the angle iron used for the runners though. nothing special but i thought i'd post.
Also like the RR crossing sign in the background. Picked up an old cast iron one at a garage sale that needs to be put up in the shop. May have to reinforce the wall to hold it though.
i may build a "fence" in the future if i feel that i need it. in certain situations it is nice to angle cut the metal that way and it would be in the way so like i say i'll just have to see if i feel like i need to do it. if so i can burn one on there easily enough.
as for the mounts....well the table top frame work is made from 2x3x1/8" the back pice is one piece all the way across and on the front it is boxed in to both sides of the table top. i then built a tray out of angle iron for the saw. i sunk the tray into the inset and once i got it all leveled up i welded it in.
spec's on the saw: milwaukee 14" chop saw with the 3.xx HP motor.

i got mine from the marine corps air station in beaufort south carolina. i was stationed there for over 6 years of my 8 in the usmc. anyway when i forst got there being i was just a PFC a the time i was put on base beautifcation for a month and during that time i found the sign in a dumpster when i was dumping some trash. anyway i grabbed it.
We have one similar at work and it makes the saw so much more usable.
