Thanks to Maz Salimi and Charles Leininger for helping with the Sawstop rebuild. The dust turned out far worse than we expected. Dust layered directly under the table. And an inch of dust under the saw itself. After we had it all cleaned up, we moved it, and yikes! Tons of sawdust underneath.
Accomplished today:
Top removed, full cleaning and lubrication internally
Internal inspection for wear (in generally good condition)
New center table (miters on old table were worn and out of true)
New legs on extension table, along with reinforcement
Re-leveled, and adjusted to outfeed table
New rulers
New fence face plates
Floating dust collector install (great for sheet goods)
Do NOT trust the sleds until you check them out. They were tuned to the old table. Hopefully they will need only minor adjustments.
The old miter slots were wider in the front than in the back, which might lead them to be a bit wobbly in the new table. It may also be time to build some new sleds to go with the new table. Volunteers?
