I want to make a sliding log table to go on the 'Widow Maker':
The idea is to bolt 2 horizontal lengths of Scaffold or pipe to this side of the saw frame and then make a cradle,, that will hold a length of timber slightly above the surface of the table, on pullys or rollers that will sit on the pipe. I can then stand to the side of the saw and load a 1.5m length of timber into the cradle, slide it through the blade, shove it across 8" and repeat etc.
Trouble is I can't find a supplier for U shaped pullys to sit on the pipe. Years ago I worked in a timber yard and to kiln dry the timber we use to load the packs onto a frame that sat on U shaped pullys running on Scaffold track that ran in and out of the kiln so I know they must be available.
