AlZilla Report post Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) I've acquired an industrial table and I need to lengthen the opening to accommodate my 111w153. The table formerly housed a 44-10. Is there a preferred way to cut these holes? I'm about 3" shy length ways. I have plenty of woodworking tools (except a jigsaw, which seems like the right tool). I've looked online and found a couple of videos and I can sort of envision how I'll do it, but I just wondered if someone had a good tutorial or video somewhere. I have the 44-10, too. Ideally, I'd like to make it so I can swap the 2 back and forth. A couple of pics, just because ... Thanks for any forthcoming help!

chuck123wapati Report post Posted November 28, 2022 drill the radius corners with a hole saw spade bit or some such then you have options on what saw you will need. tape your formica or it will blow out. If enough room between holes you can use a circular saw. Coping saw will also work but your right a jig saw would be best. Or you can use a router also which may be the case if you need those tabs at the corners or a lip to hold up your machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frodo Report post Posted November 29, 2022 Both excellant recomendations may I add a side note? Apply painters masking tape to the Formica side of the table and cut the tape with the saw it will keep the Formica from splintering or splitting clean with a damp rag Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
