i want to add a bench to the back of the SawStop, I've got some wood and some ideas, here is the wood..........
........Three slabs of a wood they are calling "Aka Tamo" or Red Ash. I checked online and it's English name seems to be "Siberian Elm"
Each slab is 210cm long, 50cm wide and 3 cm thick (83" x 20" x 1 3/16") each slab cost me about $70, less than I could make them for, and they are all milled and sanded dead flat.
I think that two slabs cut down a bit will be good for the top of the bench.
I'm going to have to see how to attach the bench to the saw as well as few other things, like vice placement.
I'll make up some drawings when I get a minute.
Oh, I also picked up another roller stand, as I only had one, and I'll be needing two to rip these long slabs down to size.
Cheers!
