PMan_ posted:Is this the sort of thing that there just aren't any plans around for because it's so basic? Unfortunately this is probably the case. Luckily, you will get much more enjoyment out of it if you design AND build it yourself  First I would take a look at the saw and figure out where the mounting points are for the base. Make a sketch of this with dimensions. Then maybe get online and look at other table saw bases like this one:  Sure, it wasn't made of brazilian jungle wood by hand in your great grandfather's wood shop, but it _is_ a table saw stand, and that is what you want. Figure out what materials you want to use to make your stand, and how you will be putting it all together. Use the pictures of others to decide how you will build it. Then make another sketch of the whole thing, with attachment points for the saw. Since most people on SA are geeks you might want to use a CAD program or google sketchup or something if you aren't comfortable sketching on paper (although you should be!) After your sketch of the whole thing is done, go ahead and build the sucker. Remember that stupid old quote though: "measure twice, cut once" You can see though, a table saw base is a relatively simple beast, and should be no match to build for a being so complex as the human

wormil posted:EDIT: scrap this idea, it doesn't work. The beginning vibration is minimal but it sets off an oscillation that makes it unworkable. Maybe use some threaded rod as a "tensioner" to assist the gravity setup? Make sure the pulleys are aligned, I know a guy that works in serious industry type stuff and they have fancy laser shaft and pulley alignment tools because they will vibrate/destroy bearings and stuff if it's off a bit. Best of luck
