    First time posting a project on here, hopefully it goes over well... Our metal cut saw base has been used and abused. It was time for a new one. Wanted to be able to change the angle of the cut inline with our material feed. We're able to get 75˚. The cuts are far more supported and it's been a beneficial upgrade for us. We used 1/4" plate on the top and 3/8" around the base. Let me know if anyone wants the CAD files and I'll upload them.

    Great idea mounting the saw on the turntable. You could sell that in a DIY kit. Thanks

    I don't understand how you turn it in order to get angles. Can you share the dxf files?

    Great idea, plus the dog bones makes easy weldup.

    Very nice design and thoughts in your final outcome. I too would like to if if you would share the cad files so that I may use them to setup of our shop class chop saw to be used with student this year in class.

    thank you
