Mounting The
Table Saw
Mounting Table Saw
to Workbench
If table saw is to be used in a permanent location, it should be
fastened securely to a firm supporting surface such as a stand or
workbench, using the four mounting holes, 1 two of which are
shown (Fig. 25).
When mounting table saw to a workbench or plywood, holes
should be drilled through the supporting surface of the workbench
or plywood and a opening MUST be made the same size as the
opening in the bottom of the saw using the dimensions illustrated
(Fig. 26), so the saw dust can drop through.
1. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely
using 5/16" hex nuts (not included). Screw lengths should be
2-1/2" longer than the thickness of the bench top.
2. Locate and mark where the saw is to be mounted.
3. Drill four (4) 3/8" diameter holes through workbench.
4. Place table saw on workbench aligning holes in base with holes
drilled in workbench.
5. Insert four (4) 5/16" screws and tighten.

Mounting to Plywood

An alternative method of securing your table saw is to fasten the
saw base to a mounting board 24" x 24" minimum size to prevent
saw from tipping while in use. Any good grade of plywood with a
3/4" minimum thickness is recommended.
1. Follow instructions for mounting to workbench, substituting a
plywood board 24" x 24" minimum size and using 5/16" flat head
machine screws, flat washers, and hex nuts (not included). Screw
length must be at least 2-1/2" more than the thickness of the
mounting board. Insert screws up through mounting board and
through base holes. Place flat washers on stud and secure with
hex nuts
NOTE: For proper stability, holes must be counter sunk on bottom
side of plywood so screw heads are flush with the bottom surface
of the supporting board.
2. Securely clamp board 2 to workbench 3 using two or more "C"
clamps, 4 as shown (Fig. 27).
Supporting surface where saw is to be mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement can
occur during use. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure the
workbench or stand before operating the table saw.
