The generosity of the people on this site never ceases to amaze me!
As for the plans, I don't have it completely finalized, but I will be borrowing a lot of features from the shopnotes plans. I like the tracking mechanism for the belt, I like the design of the dust hood, and I like the overall construction, but I haven't settled on what I want for a height adjustment mechanism.
I am always wary of over-engineering something, so I think that simple may be better, but I would like to have not just up and down adjust ment, but to have the individual corners of the table to be adjustable. My biggest fear with this is having a machine that constantly makes wedge shaped pieces!!
But in the end, making all four corners adjustable might create a machine that's constantly going out of alignment. So that's where I'm at.
I feel like this is probably going to be a situation where I build the machine, use it for a couple of months, and then cannibalize it's parts to build a better version. That's the way a lot of homemade tools seem to go, IMHO.
Anyone here ever built one? If so, what did you like/hate about it?
