Pin Router for a Sears Radial Arm Saw

Step 7 Assemble

The sets of halves are bolted to the upright frame piece.  On the bottom set you can see the head of a 1/4 inch bolt mentioned earlier.  It is recessed and attaches the end of the angle iron.  I placed the threaded rods through holes in the halves of the squares.  Each half that attaches directly to the upright frame piece has a nut and washer to hold it firmly in place.  The outer halves are secured by wing-nuts.

 Another option may be to make a base for the router that the router screws into.  I have a different radial arm saw but could probably do something similar- interesting project.

I have a project in the works using a router to make a pocket hole machine- another one I similarly wouldn't use terribly often and really don't need a dedicated machine for.

Please share your project when it is finished.  Thank you for commenting.

 Will do- I'm on the tail end of moving, so once I get more settled (AND get more done on the project : ) I will put that one up

I noticed you are in Hixson, Tennessee.  We lived in East Brainerd from '83 to '95.  Are you moving across town or to a new city?

Moved from Chattanooga to Hixson, so more of a new residence than changing cities.

I put up an Instructable on the pocket hole jig- I will include pictures of the real deal when I unearth it.  I can't paste a link for some reason, but it should come up with a search of pocket hole jig.
