I made a sliding table for cutting mortises with my radial arm saw. Also some mods and accessories for the saw.

Great idea for the dust collector! I use my RAS to plane and I need to build one like this.

I just picked up a Rigid 10in Radial arm saw. I would love to see more of yours in action with some good instructions. Its hard to find good information.

Hi Tim! Several of my videos feature the RAS. It's not always in the teaser image. This blade review is one. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZdpipOIspmyaJc.html If you don't already have one, I suggest searching out an owner's manual. There's a lot that goes into getting the saw set-up properly, but it's well worth the effort. At some point I plan to do another RAS only project. In the mean time check out The Northland Workshop www.youtube.com/@TheNorthlandWorkshop That guy has a bunch of RAS info.

I'll check out more of your videos for sure. I have watched a few of his videos. He's got good stuff too, just very long form. I'm interested in more on planning on shaping sanding attachments too. That's the stuff you don't see much on. Especially thing used with the aux shaft. I need to rebuild my table. It's good enough for now, but seen better days. I'm currently running an 80 tooth gen purpose because I needed to square up some 8/4 with minimal finishing for a project. Luckilywho i got mine from must have kept it dialed in. It came out pretty dead on.

If you haven't already, take a look on ebay. I've seen a limited selection of planing attachments and molding heads there. All I've found that fits my aux shaft is a drill chuck. It works okay chucking router bits but has more run out than I would like. I tried a sanding spindle. It works but the vibration is too much. The same spindle does fine on my drill press. Good luck!

Really like the mortising setup. Was thinking that an adjustable height might prove helpful. Kinda like a scissor lift build i saw on another's video.

Great idea! I didn't think about making the table adjustable. I suppose that could be useful when the RAS height adjustment isn't sufficient. Thanks!

You have some great ideas. I don't know why I never thought to attach the ends of the extension supports to the base instead resting them on the floor. I also like the way you use stuff from the shop to make your upgrades. I use a router table or a drill press for mortissing, but this actually looks like it might be a better method. Maybe you could use the planer attachment to cut the tenons?

Thanks Tim! I usually cut integral tenons on my table saw. Recently I've started using loose tenons and I'm finding that method faster and easier.

Where did you get the chuck?

This is the link for the one I bought, but Amazon says it's out of stock. www.amazon.com/R%C3%B6hm-1322223-R%C3%96HM-Chuck-20/dp/B07B3JQDNW/ The mount type is 1/2" x 20 UNF and it takes bits from 1 to 13 mm. Here's a link to another chuck I bought. www.amazon.com/Drill-Chuck-3-16mm-Heavy-duty-Capacity/dp/B09DYJ6QCF/ I replaced it with the Rohm thinking the Jeanoko had too much runout, but after using both I think the runout is coming from the RAS shaft. It's like the threads on the shaft aren't perfectly straight. It's still useful, I just have to accommodate the runout by sizing my tenons to fit the mortise.

How's the quality? I've gotten some great stuff from them and some not so good.
@chasferr6 ай бұрын
@thehappychiselllc the quality was fine. Got it a bout 5 years ago though.

If you would buy a used Shopsmith, you could do this way easier.

But using the RAS is so much fun. 😁 Right now I don't do enough mortising to justify adding equipment, but that's something to keep in mind.

Thats way cheaper than a domino

More versatile too, I think. This setup has been working better than I expected.
