From The Flickr Pool: A Home-Built Chop Saw Stop
By Chuck Cage
After mounting his chop saw to what looks like a sweet custom plywood table, reader (and photo pool controbutor) Simple Simon added this slick adjustable stop based on some extruded aluminum, some plywood, and parts from Lee Valley. It looks very effective, and quite professional as well. Hopefully Simon’ll have a minute or two to stop by and tell us a bit more about it in comments.
Check out the photo pool for another picture from a different angle. And hey — why not sign up and contribute pictures of your own gear, projects, and shop?

uh hello,
this is the guy who built this. The table itself is actually just a 24″ wide box with an 8′ bit of plywood stuck on to the left. It needed to be movable since this shop was temporary and belonged to a client. I use T-slot as much as possible since it can be adjusted and re-built easily.
