As a fan of Adam Savage's Tested I of course had to build his custom workbench LED lamp! So I designed a mount for the lamp to the Loc-Line system and a base to mount it to the table!
Update 8/12/18: Added vertical_extension_plate. This lets you join extension tables to the main table along the direction of the blade. You will need to use screws to use this; it uses the holes in the legs of the tables. Note that this does limit the use of the fence.
Update 12/13/17: Added a storage spot for the Router Support Plate under the left and right Flex Holder Table. Uses two 10mm M3 screws.
This is a transformable and adjustable rotary tool based table saw / disc sander / shaper for use with the Dremel Flex Shaft attachment. The Flex Shaft should fit most rotary tools, but be sure to check.
Lets you:
Mount cutting discs to perform straight or angled cuts thin wood, pcb's, screws, plastic parts, etc of any length.
Mount sanding dics for disc sanding.
Mount sanding drum or grinding bits in the shaper configuration for spindle sanding/ grinding.
Mount other bits for other operations that I haven't thought of.I was inspired to make one of Adam Savage's awesome custom LED workbench lights (link below), but wanted a more flexible mounting option. I'm a big fan of the one-handed quick clamps and thought this type of solution would be ideal. I decided to use a Harbor Freight 12 in ratcheting clamp ($3.99) as the core and designed mount for the lamp that would replace the far end of the clamp. My goal was to incorporate all of the clamp parts making it a direct swap.
I also wanted to be able to plug and unplug a power supply from the lamp so I made a wiring harness our of some standard male and female barrel connectors that I have a bunch of for other LED projects. I designed a press-fit hole for the female connector end and a slot for the rest of the connector wire... it's working fine so far.
This is the first version and I did not quite hit my goal, the bolt is not quite long enough for where the nut trap is and I am apprehensive about making it deeper which would not leave a lot of material between the nut and the clamp bar. In the meantime, I am just using a longer bolt and large washer.
The one I am testing now was printed with 40% infill and 6 layer walls all around.
