Intro: Knex Miter Saw V 2

Hello everyone!

Here is the new version of my miter saw. The meganism is updated which makes sure the blade guard goes up and down faster wile moving the saw part. After I saw 39 shadowman's miter saw i was like: I can build such a thing to and tada here it is. I really hope you guys like it and have fun with it after building.

Here is a video of it

STEP 2: The Saw Base

This is the base on which the saw will rest. It costst a lot of blue rods but just get started and then the first step is done

STEP 3: The Meganism

This is the most complicated part of the saw but it isn't a lot of work so let's get building

STEP 4: The Base Top

This is the most easiest step in the instructable so just look carefully at the pictures and the base is done !!!!!

STEP 5: The Plating

This part of the innstructable isn't necesarry but it just makes the saw looks nicer

STEP 6: The Saw, Part 1

This is the first part of the which also has the motor

STEP 7: The Saw, Part 2

This is the upper part of the saw. This is also the part in wich the blade and the blade guard will be.

STEP 8: Attaching the Saw to the Base

Just attach the saw to the base

STEP 9: The Rubber Bands and the String

Just put the rubber band where it says to but READ THIS:  THE STRING MUST BE AT HIS MOST THIGHT WHEN THE SAW IS UP

STEP 10: You Are Finished!!!

Congragulations, you finished the saw. Now turn the motor on and press it down and see how the blade guard goes up.
Have fun with it. You may put it on the internet but you must give credits to me.

Do you have to have the Grey Bendy Rods?

CassisDude98 12 years ago

No but they are connected to the blade guard to make sure the two sides goo up but if you plaace another rubber band at the other side of the saw then they won't be neccessary

Thanks for my 50th comment!!!

Knexman15 12 years ago

Okay, I'm building right now and I'll tell you how it turns out, and your welcome.

Knexman15 12 years ago

Can u use yellow gears instead of red gears cause i dont have that many red gears?

CassisDude98 12 years ago

Thanks for building it, If you send me the picture I will add it to the last step
Also Thanks for the 5 stars!!!!

:-)

CassisDude98 12 years ago

Yes, But then you need to find a solution for the space because of the growns of the yellow gears, So i really recomment the red gears at the part where the chain is on But for the other parts it really doesn't matter.

Snosageman99 12 years ago

Very nice job! It's great to finally see a build process for this project :-)

Putting the link for the YouTube video is great; you can also, if you want, embed the video directly into your I'ble. Use the little "filmstrip" icon to get a popup box, where you paste the embed XML from YouTube. On the YouTube side, make sure you select Use old embed codes, because I'bles software doesn't know how to parse the new iframe syntax.
