A few weeks ago I converted an old computer desk to a scroll saw table for a scroll saw that was given to me, my first scroll saw, an older model Delta. Last Friday I picked up a used DeWalt 788 Type 1 for a good price, spent the weekend breaking it down, checked the sleeves & bearings, etc. The DeWalt is to long to fit on the table and sits taller than the old Delta. My thought was to bolt the DeWalt to a piece of 3/4" ply and use wedges to angle the saw while I sit. Well then I thought, Can I build an adjustable top with the 3/4" ply?. I found some multi position locking hinges (drafting table hinges) that should work, this should allow me to adjust the tilt to almost any angle I would need.
Question: Has anyone else tried this? If so any success?........no need to reinvent the wheel.
