I've recently inherited an old Red Star Multiplex 40-a 12" Radial Arm Saw. This saw was my FIL and it's in pretty good condition. Motor runs good, everything is tight and slides smoothly.
The problem I have is that I need to build a new cabinet and table for it in order to fit it into my shop. I have ordered the "Mr Sawdust" book, but I'm not finding much help online on how to actually build a table for the saw. Specifically how to build the table to enable the 'clamping' of the fence. There's really nothing integral to the saw to enable doing that. I've got a few ideas on what I might be able to do but didn't want to re-invent the wheel. The way the current table was done is a little funky, and I'd rather have something that doesn't require reaching behind the saw to adjust.
I've seen a few threads on how to actually build the table, but nothing ever directly address how to clamp the pieces of the table together.
If anyone here could point me in the right direction, that would be great!
Thanks!
