Metal cutting??????

If its a really long cut the track torch is super easy to use.

Here is another view of the switch and the counter weight. Its a section of 3/4" bar stock bolted to the bracket that holds the saw and a section of 2" barstock with a 13/16 hole in it so it can slide up and down. The set collar sets it on the shaft.

The other photo is of handy auto torches the one on the left has the circle attachment on it the right one is bevem and the one not mounted is perpendicular cut. The top knob starts the cut and motor, push button on the side is forward or reverse and the knob at the rear is speed control.

I like the cantilevered counter weight. I'll copy that.

I also like the miter guide. Is that fixed at 45 or is it adjustable? I see you built a stock support extension into the gauge. Very clever.

The flat strap with the holes in it is just part of an garage door opener to door connection that I didn't need. The stock support extension is what I clamp the material too to keep from having to mess with the chain clamp. Its 45 only but that is just because that's all I needed, it would be pretty simple to have it adjustable.

This one is minus a blade but I think you can see how it works.
