An emphasis for longitudinal sawing.
Having perfectly aligned the saw with one of the edges of the table, I attached it with M4 screws. To do this, I had to drill the iron base of the circular in four places.
In general, any circular is suitable for installation on a table, but if you choose the type of fastening with screws for the base, then it is better to choose a model with an iron base. The cast may crack.
There is another popular way to fix the circular to the table without drilling holes in the base - attach it with clamps that fix the base by pressing it to the surface. Only this method seemed to me not true enough in terms of accuracy and reliability of the installation, and I did not use it.
Another important parameter manual circular is the ability to connect a vacuum cleaner. If you saw without a vacuum cleaner, fine wood dust rises into the air.
The disc has been sawn to the top side of the table top. Height - 40mm (Bosh wood disc 160mm). The tabletop reduces the cutting depth by 9 mm. The depth of cut is set on the circular saw itself. It is convenient that the disk can be completely hidden in the table.
UPD: IMPORTANT! On a number of budget circulars, it may turn out that the disk is under an imperceptible slope. And all cuts will be beveled. Be sure to check with a tool square that the disc is at 90 degrees relative to the table surface. (before installing the saw, you can check the angle relative to the native platform. If the disk turned out to be not at a right angle and there is no way to set the ideal angle of the platform, you can put several strips of tin on one side under the platform, achieving perfect angle(you can use washers for the screws that secure the saw to the table, but this solution is worse)
Inside the table I placed a socket for the saw, which will now turn on with the start button.
This is how you can connect a vacuum cleaner to the saw. In general, the table is ready and you can saw. (done in one evening and one morning).
Of course, it is possible to cut without equipment using slats and clamps, but it is inconvenient.
This design, clinging to the edges of the table and aligning with them, can move along the saw blade. By pressing the rail against the sled, you can easily cut it exactly at 90 o. Thin pieces of wood can be placed inside the sled.
You can even cut the rail like a sausage :) For example, I cut several pieces of different thicknesses.
Slides solve only part of the problems. For longitudinal sawing, a side stop is also needed.
I glued brackets from plywood that will cling to the edge of the table.
Clings to the edges with a death grip.
The circular saw is a dangerous tool. In order not to saw off my fingers, I made from waste furniture board simple pusher.
I have already managed to work with this table, sawing and slats, furniture panels, plywood. It became much easier to perform all these works than I did when sawing off with a manual circular saw.
In the future, I will further refine this table:
- I will remake the side stop for longitudinal sawing, so that when moving, it always remains parallel to the disk
- I will put a removable riving knife to which the disc protection will be attached
- I'll make a dust extraction from the top of the table. (Now when I drink, the disc throws wood dust right in my face)
- I will finish the improved pusher. I have already begun to make a more interesting and convenient version of the pusher, I will write about this in the future.
I will gradually implement this in the future, but for now I will work like this.
Do-it-yourself circular saw is easy to assemble. Homemade devices often found in the workshops of people with the necessary skills to work with tools.
All actions during manufacture must be carried out carefully, observing safety regulations.
The drawings of the device device will make the process of assembling a circular saw with your own hands more understandable.
Assembly order
A homemade circular saw with your own hands can be easily assembled if you have an unnecessary grinder in your home workshop.
To complete the assembly of the device, you need to prepare the following materials and tools:
- Bulgarian;
- aluminum corner;
- nuts;
- metal rod or pipe;
- metal sheet;
- sliding stop (need to be assembled);
- axial handle (need to be done).
First of all, an emphasis is constructed with the necessary holes. It is constructed using short parts of a metal corner. Corner trims will be located on both sides of the toothed disk.
For them, on the sides, it is necessary to make recesses with a depth of 0.2 to 0.5 cm. So that the lower edges of the corners do not come into contact with the element being cut, they should be smoothed.
Parts are fastened at the back and front with transverse ligaments using nuts and bolts.
The assembly scheme of the stop is not complicated. A metal collar is put on the body, the screed of which is produced from the bottom of the device.
Then a hole is prepared through which the product is fastened with a clamp, for rear fastening, which fixes the stop for subsequent sliding.
Threaded holes are drilled in the gearbox of the apparatus, into which small parts will be attached.
At the beginning of work, the gearbox is disassembled to determine suitable place on which the indentations will be made.
Recesses are required for the subsequent attachment of the axle handle. If a handle located on the side of an ordinary grinder is used, then it will be quite difficult to make a hole.
The next step is to make the handle. The part can be built using a rod bent upwards or a tube made of metal. Its ends will be further attached to the gearbox.
If the handle is made in the form of a horn, then its far end should be flattened and recesses under the axis should be made. A forward-facing part is inserted into the recesses in the gearbox. The edges of the part are pressed.
Using a lining of washers under the front of the stop, equalize the gap parameters over the entire duration of the circular saw.
If a 0.6 cm rod is used, then thin washers will be needed. A thread is applied to the back of the rod.
Then the part is placed in the recess on the handle. Now the device is ready for use.
During the operation of the circular saw, you must follow the safety rules, especially you can not drink alcoholic drinks, as their use leads to impaired coordination.
Table saw assembly
Assembling a circular saw with your own hands at home is not very hard work, you only need to prepare all the necessary parts and tools, select the design and follow the drawings and instructions exactly.
A table saw is easy to assemble from a regular saw. The finished device will have a compact size.
To do this work, it is necessary to assemble a frame from a thin tube or twig 18 - 20 mm made of metal, to which the lever is attached.
The part of the structure located below must be bent in the direction of the cut. This element is attached to the table with self-tapping screws.
The device stand must be stable. Rocking the saw during operation can be very dangerous, because any careless movement can lead to the loss of fingers or hands.
It is best to make your table out of metal, fixing its supports to the floor.
On the crossbar you need to place a lever made of a tube in the shape of the letter "T". The lever should spin freely.
The part is cut across into several sections. After the installation of the structure is completed, all elements are connected using clamps.
A do-it-yourself homemade mini circular saw is attracted and fixed with clamps to the vertical extreme part.
The assembled circular saw can be used in the home workshop as cutting tool. Before starting work, a cutting wheel is inserted into the grinder.
To process thick boards, you need to use a full-fledged apparatus. The carriage performs the trimming of the elements. It is assembled from several beams attached to the base and performing a guiding function.
Having understood how to assemble the apparatus, you need to select the materials and tools suitable for the job. At a minimum, you will need a working angle grinder and various consumables.
But in order to assemble the device with your own hands, special skills are needed. If there is no necessary skill, then it is better to purchase a circular saw, in the correct, reliable and safe work which you can be absolutely sure.
The described method allows you to assemble a small circular saw that can be used in a home workshop or your own barn.
How to assemble a stationary device?
Having learned how to make a circular saw, they begin to assemble the apparatus. A stationary saw differs from a mini tool only in the size of the statin.
The statin should have a base of sufficient width without distortion, with a cutout for the saw. More often, the base is made using plexiglass, plywood, chipboard and ordinary sheet metal.
The parameters of the closing surface are determined taking into account the pressure exerted on the statin. The power cord of the circular saw is also attached to the base.
The cover of the statin must be freely removable, as access to the machine may be required at any time.
The table for the design will need to be made independently.
It is covered with tin or steel sheet, as the wood that passes through plastic and wood gradually forms furrows in the coating. Because of the holes and recesses, it will be very difficult to make a quality saw cut.
If the bar is planned to be sliding, then it is necessary that the table surface has absolutely parallel opposite edges.
For unhindered sliding along the edges without changing the desired angle, a sled is made using an aluminum corner.
The cutting disc should protrude no more than a third of its diameter above the table surface, otherwise the tool will be life-threatening.
But even a minimal protrusion of the cutting element can cause serious injury if used incorrectly.
Before starting work on assembling a circular saw, you should compare the power of the existing electric motor with the required one. Saw parts with a thickness of more than 150 mm homemade apparatus it will be quite difficult.
The stop, which can be adjusted during operation, is made from a fragment of a metal corner of 7-8 cm. It should be 40 mm longer than the table top.
Then a stop is put on the table surface, which is fixed with bolts. The stop is set according to special measurements, pre-installed between the working part of the device and it.
A circular saw is used to cut wood.
Using a hand saw is not always comfortable, using a table allows you to make the sawing process more even and accurate.
The cutting base has a plane resembling a disk, equipped with an outer edge with teeth. There are models not only manual type, but also with the possibility of fixing on the table.
It is difficult to work with large volumes of wood with a conventional circular saw, so it is better to install it on a table
There are several ways to acquire the latter for the convenience of performing manipulations. Table for circular saw you can build it yourself, strictly adhering to a certain scheme.
Table device for a circular saw
The table is made taking into account the fact that hand tool will be installed and fixed on the table, turning into stationary equipment
construction with my own hands element allows you to make the saw as suitable as possible for individual conditions. Difficulties in the process will not arise if you carefully study the issue. You can customize the product the right size, distribute everything so that it is convenient for you.
Making a table for a circular saw is quite within the power of every craftsman
The self-made model will be one of a kind, which makes it unique.

Deciding on design and construction
by the most simple option table for a circular is a construction of sufficiently thick plywood and boards
The base can be made of wood or metal. For countertop choose sheet rocks trees. It should make a special hole for the disk. The key property of the created table should be convenience.
bed circular machine
You should take care of its stability. No loosening is allowed, otherwise it will negatively affect safety. The countertop should get the maximum Smooth surface. This will reduce the risk of injury at work.
A table for a circular saw requires the presence of guides
The structure can be supplemented with a special riving knife. He can take off. It is equipped with a special disc protection that allows you to get rid of chips flying into the worker.
Circular table guide carriage
Some remove the factory casing and change the factory platform to a homemade one. If you are not going to cut at an angle, you can remove the parts that adjust the inclination of the blade.
Blueprints
Scheme for making a table for a circular saw
Before starting work, it is recommended to pass preparatory stage. Be sure to make a drawing. This will make the design process easier. First calculate the dimensions of the table, then transfer the data to paper. The hole made in the structure must exactly match the dimensions of the saw. It all depends on the brand of equipment. Therefore, it is impossible to make a universal hole. The base must be stable and well withstand mechanical loads.
Do-it-yourself circular table drawing
It is unacceptable to hang the structure to one side. The dimensions of the worktop must be suitable for the sawing flow. The final option is determined based on individual desires. Some work comfortably with a folding table or a product with small dimensions.
Drawing of a universal desktop machine
The drawings should take into account important point. If you plan to leave tools or materials on the table during work, then the dimensions of the tabletop must be increased to square meter in the square. A suitable size would be 120 by 120 cm. You should draw carefully and slowly to do everything correctly.

Necessary materials
Homemade table can be made of wood
For such a table, wood, plywood or chipboard can be used. Also suitable for MDF and chipboard. Some prefer to choose steel or aluminum.
Steel Plate Circular Machine Table
It is not recommended to use plastic, it is completely unsuitable for a table of this purpose. If wood is selected, then after assembly is completed, the product should be treated with a special antiseptic composition. This will provide reliable protection from moisture and will help to avoid rotting.
To make a saw table yourself, you need to prepare the materials.
- Selected raw materials for the base. The thickness should be 21 mm.
- The beam needed for the frame. Suitable edged board 3 meters long with dimensions of 50 by 150 mm. All you need is 5 pieces.
- Dowels made of wood with dimensions of 10 cm. At least 12 pieces.
- Joiner's glue.
- Metal fasteners in the amount of 4 pieces.
- Metal corners. Enough 10 pcs.
- Self-tapping screws.
These elements must be prepared in advance and placed near the workplace.
Required Tools
In addition to materials, tools should be prepared.
Among them:
- pencil and marker;
- measuring instruments, including a meter and tape measure;
- jigsaw;
- manual frezer;
- grinding machine;
- sandpaper (should have medium or fine grit);
- planer and drill;
- screwdriver
You need to prepare everything in advance and keep it on hand throughout the process.

Finished tabletop for circular saw
To make a quality construction, you need to follow some tips. The process consists of several steps presented in the table.
| Steps | Description |
| 1 | The bar should be leveled on all sides with a planer. Then the frame of the future table is assembled from it. In each side of the tabletop, you need to drill several holes of 5 mm. Additionally, one through is performed for the legs of the product. |
| 2 | In the drawers, several holes of the same diameter are made. In the legs, one through is performed. The diameter remains the same, 5 mm. |
| 3 | Proceed to install the dowels in the countertop. Before that, they are covered with wood glue. Legs and tsars are placed on top. In the presence of clamps with screeds, the product should be fixed with their help. When the glue is completely dry, you need to fasten the sides and legs using special metal fasteners. Additionally, it should be tightened with self-tapping screws. You can add reliability and strength to the structure by using the corners. They will become an element of additional fastening, give the product stability. For the short side, 2 pieces are enough, and for the long side, 3 will do. |
| 4 | The next step involves fixing the saw to the product with inside. There are several methods to accomplish the task. M4 bolts or bars with self-tapping screws are suitable for fixing. The first case is fast and reliable. The second method does not involve additional holes, which eliminates the need for drilling. It is necessary to make a drink in bars, the width of which is equal to the dimensions of the saw platform. Further, self-tapping screws and bars on both sides fasten the equipment and the countertop |
| 5 | After installing the saw, you will need another larger bar. It, using self-tapping screws, is fixed on the basis of the structure. Screwing is carried out on the marks made when placing the platform in a level position. These manipulations will help, when removing the saw, to return it usually quickly without searching for markings. |
| 6 | The saw blade is set in place. The base is sawn to obtain a longitudinal hole. Then the product must be turned over |
| 7 | Then production starts parallel stop. Two strips are sawn off from plywood. Their length should match the width of the table. On average, these dimensions are 10 cm. Corners should be rounded |
| 8 | The resulting strips are polished. They need to be fastened at an angle with self-tapping screws. A metal corner should be screwed inside |
| 9 | If you need to fix the stop on the base and the structure will be used often, you should attach the guide so that it is perpendicular to the disk. Attach the roller on the bottom. This will allow him to move. |

First make sure that the saw is securely fastened, only then turn it on. Do not hold the cut material with your hands. This will help keep the wood from getting in your face when the knots start to bounce. In addition, it is recommended to use special protective goggles when working.
Be sure to use protective goggles for your safety.
Specified simple tips help prevent injury in the workplace.

For anyone home master, the presence of its own stationary sawing machine This is time saving and work safety.
You can buy a ready-made stationary circular. The cost of small machines starts from 9,000 rubles, more or less decent stationary saws are sold in the price range from 30 to 100 thousand.
Despite the apparent complexity of the design, any craftsman with elementary locksmith skills can make a homemade circular saw. Moreover, during the design process it is possible to add functions that are not provided by the manufacturer.
What is a circular saw for?
Before starting work, it is necessary to determine the main tasks of the sawing machine. If you just need to cut firewood for the winter, or do basic carpentry work like making a fence, it’s enough strong table with slot for saw blade. Such options are popular in rural areas.
Circular for working with logs
Of course, there can be no question of any safety and functionality when using such a device.
In some of these "models" there is a shaft for fixing the knives of a planer or jointer. As a rule, a bed is cooked from a corner or a channel, an electric motor is fixed on it from a decommissioned factory ventilation, and with the help of a pulley, the torque is transmitted to the disk. It makes no sense to describe in detail the manufacturing technology of such a machine.
Another thing is if you want to do carpentry work. In this case, you need a coordinate table with guides that are fixed at different angles.
Because on such stationary saw you can work with small workpieces - you need to take care of the safety of the operator. It is desirable to provide for the adjustment of the rotation speed and the possibility of easy change of discs with different diameters.
Be sure to install a protective cover over the disk, and cover the rotating parts of the drive with covers. The starting device is equipped with an emergency switch, and the stop button is located in accessible place and made in large sizes.

How to make a circular, keeping a balance between economy, functionality and safety
Consider the main components that make up a home circular saw. You can make them yourself, but with certain skills and tools.
The frame can be made from metal corner(channel) purchased from scrap metal collectors. If you have the funds, contact the metal rolling warehouse. Legs can be made from old water pipes by connecting them with corners.
A good option for a homemade frame made of rolled metal
IMPORTANT! The use of bolted connections is prohibited, because due to vibration, such a mount will unwind.
Electricity must be used. Be sure to step up corner connections jib. The upper part of the frame (on which the table will rest) and the podium for the electric motor are made from a corner with a side of at least 50 mm.
If the machine is equipped with wheels for movement, they must be with steel rims and have locks. The higher the mass of the bed, the more stable the machine will be, and the safer the work will be.
Manual electric saw- a thing useful and convenient, but working with it will not work for a long time, since you need to make an effort. If you need to cut a whole tree or you constantly have to work with large volumes, then for this a circular saw is made from a circular saw with your own hands.

Advantages and features of the tool
The circular saw has its advantages: it allows you to make even cut, increases the speed of installation, provides convenience of work, saves electricity. If you replace the disc, you can overcome soft metal. To make a full-fledged tool for work, you need to install it on the table and provide access from all sides.
In this case, the following conditions must be observed:
- the table must be well reinforced, for which its legs are sometimes poured with concrete or bolted;
- the hand saw is fixed with iron brackets to the tabletop to ensure safety during operation;
- grounding is required.
Discomfort at work represents a large width table. Optimal size should not exceed 60 - 70 cm, so that it is convenient to hold the bar (not on outstretched arms).
If the work surface is not static, then the quality of the cut deteriorates, so fixing is necessary. The wire can be fixed with staples in the floor so that you do not accidentally stumble during operation.
As an option - make an additional outlet under the countertop.
First you need to prepare a drawing with an indication of the dimensions. It's almost a blueprint, but simplified. On paper, you need to indicate the amount of clearance for the disk - in width and length, where it should be in relation to the edges of the table. You can immediately imagine your work behind such a device.
Required accessories
From additional tools will need:
- for fasteners;
- pencil or marker for marking;
- roulette;
- sandpaper.
During the course of work, need a milling cutter.
To make a table, you need to prepare:
- 2 guide rails;
- bolts;
- sheet size 60/120 cm;
- blank for a table with legs (if any).
The bed can be made independently from ordinary wooden blanks fastened together with slats, or a ready-made sawing table, iron or wooden, can be used.
Chipboard prices
Description of the workflow
How a saw blade guide is made. To make the cut even, a guide ruler attached to the workbench will help.
The essence of the device is to prevent the sawing material from moving during operation.
The easiest option is to attach two profiles, one to the sole of the saw, the other to the saw table.
To do this, you need to pick up two pieces of pipe, you can use an aluminum square profile different sizes. Pipes must be cut vertically with a grinder. You should get a design according to similarity rails when one part enters another.
Next, you need to measure a piece along the length of the table. Pre-cut a recess and plant a profile in it, securing it with bolts from the bottom side. Profile smaller cut along the length of the sole and screwed on with bolts. The edges of the metal should be sanded so as not to interfere with smooth movement. It remains to combine both profiles and test the device.
How to make a workbench
A table for a circular saw with your own hands can be made from MDF boards, chipboard, thick plywood, wood, metal. plastic material does not fit.
Stages of work:
- Measure the required length and width from a sheet of material.
- Trim with a grinder and grind the edges.
- Attach the tabletop to the legs of the table with bolts, for fidelity, you can use wood glue.
- align upper part using a level, fix on the floor with metal brackets or pour concrete.
Important! The tabletop is installed on the legs after fixing the saw.
A circular saw from a circular saw is attached from below to the table with wooden slats.
Prices for MDF
Description of works:
- Turn the countertop over, mark with a marker and cut a hole for the disc.
- Cutting down upper layer according to the shape of the sole to a depth of 0.7 mm.
- Take two bars and fix the sole with screws parallel to the length of the table.
- Fasten the sole perpendicular to the table with two more slats.
Attaching the circular saw to the workbench is ready. If planned permanent job, then you can equip the table with an additional emphasis. This requires an even beam along the length of the countertop. It is required to install it parallel to the saw blade, preferably in a recess, secure it with bolts. It is important to align the part well so that it is strictly parallel - the quality of the cut will depend on this, especially if you need to make furniture.
Shaft manufacturing
How to make a do-it-yourself circular shaft.
If the circular saw is assembled in parts with your own hands, the engine is taken from washing machine, discs are bought separately or removed from a non-working angle grinder, you will have to think about how to carve the shaft.
It is unsafe to make this important part from old pipes, since the disk itself will be attached to the shaft.
Do-it-yourself circular saw shaft make it hard. Here you need a professional turner, preferably not a beginner. First you need to choose a special 45th steel grade. The material is wear-resistant and elastic, specially designed for the manufacture of shafts, cylinders, gears.
For turning on lathe double-sided fastening is used. The part is first processed with a conventional cutter to give the desired diameter. Next, with a finishing cutter, all burrs are removed. Leaves a small allowance for final sanding sandpaper to a mirror finish.
Grooves on the shaft are made with a grooving cutter, as indicated by the drawings. In the process of work, you can remove the part and try on components on it, which will subsequently be mounted.
On the shaft, you can install fasteners for:
- various milling cutters that can be useful when turning curly wood products;
- conventional circular;
- planer knives.
A do-it-yourself homemade circular saw is equipped with a motor from an old washing machine. It needs to be connected starting device corresponding to the power of the engine.
When installing electrical must be respected safety regulations:
- Provide thermal protection for cases of voltage increase.
- The switchboard must be installed on a material that does not conduct current.
- If a metal frame is installed, then the electrical wiring should be well insulated.
- If a homemade machine with a circular saw located outdoors, the electrical assembly must be protected from water.
If it is difficult to conduct an electrician for a circular saw with your own hands, then it is better to turn to a professional so that the equipment works for a long time and without breakdowns.
miniature model
To work with plexiglass, plastic, laminate, a minicircular can be useful - a small design that looks like a stool with disk in the center y.
This model is designed for thin sheets material and will not withstand heavy loads.
You can use the grinder by attaching it from below using the method described above.
For emphasis, you can attach a bar 2 cm high.
The legs do not have to be strengthened, because the device is planned to be transferred.
Note! The device copes well with thin soft materials, but the tree is difficult to work with, you need to increase the power of the motor to work with it.
The motor power on the microcirculator is small - up to 40 watts. The disc can be taken from a hand saw, but it is quite possible to use a prefabricated structure, where a threaded rod acts as a shaft - a construction stud. The disk is fastened with a nut screwed onto the thread.
Other accessories
Various devices for a hand-held circular saw with your own hands are easy to make. One of them is a regular bar that is inserted into the stop included in the kit. The standard stop does not allow cutting wider parts, as it is designed for a certain width, different for each model. To be able to increase the gap, you need to insert a stop between the wall wooden detail necessary width and push her soles.
You can make a tool for cutting grooves, which can be useful in the manufacture of furniture.
The circular saw from a hand-held circular saw can be adapted for cutting at an angle. Used as additional details, and the possibility of fixing the disk itself at the desired angle.
A simple device for trimming with a hand-held circular saw. It is possible to cut at a given angle.
Auxiliary part "wedge" suitable for production round blanks wood for decorative purposes.
The end cut is used in construction for wood finishing of walls, which are subsequently varnished, leaving the transverse structure of the tree visible.
To once again don't spend money on various devices for small jobs, you can try to independently think of a solution to the problem and create a working tool from available materials.
Old hand saws, possibly with a non-working motor, are suitable for arranging a circular saw. Construct workplace it is possible according to any scheme. By selecting parts according to power, it is possible to cut materials of various widths and densities. With the help of additional devices, you can organize a carpentry workshop and perform various operations without extra costs.
