building water table number 3 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

metzindustries · 06-26-2012, 02:01 AM

I am looking at building my third table for my 2x4 machine. I am planning on moving into a larger shop space and want to handle full sheets without having to shear them down to 2x4 foot size. I am thinking about the water bed just under the cut area and rollers on the sides at the same height as the slats.
anyone else doing this?

....just how many different ways can you build the same thing

good luck!

At one point I thought it would be cool to build a 4X8 table and put the 2X4 machine on rails/rollers/something and slide the machine for indexing. That's as far as I got. I ended up upgrading to a 4X4, and realistically 4X4 is all the space I have room for now anyway between the machine itself and storing sheets.

sliding the table on rollers, that sounds like that will work better and use less space.... thanks thats just what I will do
