Car Shock Absorbers to Lift Table Saw

Hi folks, welcome to this video. What are you going to show you a simple tutorial on how to recycle and restore for car shock absorbers I’m going to use them as Bestos to lift up and down and mortar with the blade to build myself a tablesaw I don’t have any more table soy my shop so today I decide to make my own. I start everything just buying for old car shock absorbers I remove the springs from them and then I will do some structures to hold them perfectly Patarroyo, and straight up I don’t connect the Pistons to the metal base where I just pulled on it a huge motor I don’t connect blade 22 ball bearings envies can rotate very easily and he’s such a precise job that is very sturdy and turns without problems I connect than Poulet with bells. Sold it to motor can spend the blade without problems, and now it’s time to connect everything under the table and to do this I have to think about the pivot point of all these mechanisms to do this I’d have to think where to place the pivot point and I thought the best place is couple centimeters above the blade itself you can clearly see from the 3-D model that everything turns perfectly. This is crucial to have a very small slot. They have to cut in the table having a small slot going to you to have much. Is your job cutting the parts involved to lift up and down the distance at the beginning I forgot about connecting you to an air compressor box this isn’t such a precise thing, and it’s almost impossible to have perfect alignment of the blades to the precise cut. You need, so I just decided to connect an old jack from a vintage car I think and twist the handle of the jack to lift up and down all the system lucky for me the weight of the motor, and the blade itself is so high that the piston compress on their own without problems so the jack is use only to lift it up and comes down by itself, now it’s time to think about the mechanism to decide the angle of attack of the blade. Deciding the angle is important because work frequently we need to cut boards at 45° angles or less angles so deciding the angle is important and I use the same method this before just modifying an old jack from my car and I connect everything welding on the table itself, and to the left twist mechanism of the system moving the handle let me have maximum control of the angles of the blade and this way I have maximum control on the lifting system and on the angle system now it’s time to think about also a guard of the blade so I will add a knife in front later and also a ruler so that I have perfect dimension every time very quickly I hope you enjoy the project if you want to replicate your own such a project just have fun.
