Hi All

Just seen a Wolfcraft 1000 which claims to be able to turn a circular saw
into a table saw and likewise can fit a router as well.

Anybody tried one of these as a router/circ saw table combo? Is it safe to
mount a circ saw in this way?

This one does at least show some guards and fences, however it's not
clear whether they are included in the price. Theyu could be
separately priced and made the total a lot more when you buy all the
bits.

It would be dangerous to mount a portable circular saw in this way
without proper accessories and guards. The accuracy won't be
brilliant with this type of arrangement - i.e. you won't do precision
cabinet making with it, but it might be OK for general DIY work.

Bear in mind the setup time. The setups on this type of arrangement
can be time consuming and involve fiddling with several sets of bits.
If you are only doing occasional work then that could be acceptable.






Here's the link - looks pretty damn good though for £100, and almost too
good to be true.

I have one of their Master 800 Workmate look-alikes. It is a lot
better made and more solid than the B&D ones are now - quite heavy
though.

I would suggest downloading the manual on the bench you have in mind
and look in more detail.


Cheers

Matt
