That idea works great - one suggestion is to use a "few" 1/8" dowels as pins (say 5 in a 2x1x2 pattern) . Makes it a LOT stronger and no movement when drying or under stress. Even toothpicks will work.

I’ve never thought of using a dead table saw as a work support for a working table saw! And if the new saw is the same model as the old one, the height will match perfectly! EXCELLENT!

Thanks, It works fine for me but is a bit heavy to move around. When I get the time I'm going to strip the saw and components off of it. I'll have plenty of spare parts for the working saw as well.

You are so welcome!

Neat jig idea. I have to often splice stair stringers on the flat for 16 rise stairs and up. I place them on top of each other as if it was finished size, screw them together, leave 3’ overlap, mark a diagonal line across the overlap, then cut with a circular saw and diy track. Then 1-3 passes with a handheld planer and I get a beautiful joint. Now you’re inspiring to build a boat…more like an Ark to survive the coming deluge. Lol but not. 😅

Glad I could inspire :-) I'd like to know more about the splice you mentioned but you lost me a bit there. I guess I'm a visual learner. lol
