Step 10The deck
For this step your project will probably look significantly different than mine. Originally I had planned on building my deck out of bits and pieces of scrap wood, but I came across a great wooden box that I decided to turn upside-down and use.
It doesn't matter too much what you choose. It doesn't even matter too much how you choose to mount it. The thing that does matter is THE DECK MUST BE EXACTLY 90 degrees to the blade!!! (That rule goes for BOTH forward-to-back AND left-to-right.)
If you don't take the time to get the deck exactly 90 degrees, you cuts will all be slanted.
I notched the box and attached 3 posts to attach it. The right front and right rear are just two halves of a scrap 2x4 cut to size and screwed to the drill plate. The left post is just a scrap 0f 3/8" plywood. Since height was flexible and width was unimportant I didn't even need to cut it.
The last pic (viewed from underneath) may be especially helpful to look at since it shows how most the parts of this project come together.
