I've devised a method of securing to a base plate the motor for my home made table saw. The motor (1.5Kw from old circular saw) fits on a block of wood affixed to the base plate, shaped to fit the motor. I'm clamping the motor to the block with a "pi" shaped device. What I mean is a 2" wide strip of 3/16" thick strip bears down on the motor and either end are studs that I've welded to the plate. Tighten bolts on studs and that will secure motor to block.
Each stud is about 1/2" thick (overkill, but what I had to hand). And I drilled two holes each end of strip about 3/8" diameter. Plate sits on top of studs, of course each hole in plate is above a stud. Then I simply filled in the hole with weld, which has fastened studs to plate.
Question: Do you think these studs are likely secure enough to plate? I would have thought yes. Thanks.
