Saw / Router rail

Postby ecurtz » Mon Jun 06, 2011 5:13 pm

This isn't a Makership proposal, just a brainstorm.

There is a lot of overlap between a linear slide and a saw rail system. With the addition of a few carefully chosen clamps and a piece of plastic cutting board it should be possible to put together a temporary saw or router guide from makerslide. I was thinking of the case where you wanted to build a rigid platform for your laser cutter, but don't have a table saw. You could use the makerslide and carriage parts for a guide to help make the cuts for the platform, then just take the guide apart and move the pieces into your laser.

Makerslide would make short work of building a panel saw.
