Table Saw Fence Push Stick

Project developed by User:JasonBell

Template:Statusboxtop Template:Status-design Template:Status-prototype You can help Appropedia by contributing to the next step in this OSAT's status. Template:Boxbottom

Abstract

This part solves the problem of making very thin cuts on a table saw in a safe way. All current push sticks or push blocks on the market do not allow for cuts under 1/2" while still maintaining the guards over the saw blade. This push stick rides on the fence of the saw and allows for a safer cut and makes smaller cuts possible without ruining the user's push stick.

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

  1. MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer


Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT

Product is to be used on a table saw. Safe operation and knowledge of table saw needed for proper use.

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

Orient STL in slicing software as seen below (supports shown):

Printing / Slicing Settings

Temperature: 210C

Infill: 30% or more

Supports: Yes

Skirt: Yes

Speeds: First Layer: 40 mm/s, 70 mm/s remainder of print

Layer Height: 0.15 mm

Material: PLA

Common Problems and Solutions

Support locations may vary depending on print orientation. The supports should put themselves in the correct locations when enabled

Cost savings

Estimated Cost in PLA: $1.40

Commercial Equivalent: No standard equipment performs this specific task in this way. The closest representation is a generic push stick found here [1]

Commercial equivalent with less functionality for $10.19

3D Printed for $1.40

Cost Savings ~ $8.79

% Cost Savings ~ 86% Savings

Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
