Potts Saw Table Attachment

Expertly engineered by G P Potts, this attachment simplifies slitting saw work dramatically. The table measures 7" x 4½" and will fit any lathe of 3½" centre height or larger. The base casting attaches to the cross slide above a saw arbor which is driven between centres. Cast fences are provided for accurate ripping and mitre work in ferrous or non ferrous metals up to around ½" thick. The attachment uses a standard slitting saw blade of Ø3" - Ø5", up to 1/16" thick. The table can be raised and lowered to set the standout of the blade.

It is practical to hand feed sheet materials up to around 1/16" thick and, unlike shears, the blade provides a clean cut without buckling. The bridge clamp is a great addition for thicker materials. Having clamped your job to the table a good, sensitive feed is provided from your lathe's cross slide handle. If you have a powered cross feed - all the better!

The kit comes complete with drawings, construction notes, 4 iron castings and all material required to produce the Saw Table together with the bridge clamp, fences and slitting saw arbor.
