Thanks, Guys.
Those supports look great. Can't see that they are shop built. I certainly see why they are needed too.

On a side note, guys, I seem to have lost one dimension I will need when designing the new hardware to mount these cover arms to.
We now have a nice cnc lathe, so I can come up with something better than before.
What is the width of the Excalibur arm?
Thanks.

Lee, on mine (the original model) Mr. Caliper says 1.46".

Thanks. I bent the steel with a Veritas metal bender tool that I had sitting in a drawer. It was ideal for this project.

What is the advantage of your replacement guard over the original? Better visibility? Or better dust collection? Or both?

RE: Excalibur blade cover - meackerman - 08-03-2016

both. My dad has the original guard and I have Lee's replacement. mine has noticeably better dust collection and its easier to see through, though I'm not usually looking at the blade when cutting.

What Fred said. Looks original. Great job!

Thanks, Guys. Been a bit of a delay on these while I work out all the gcode for the cnc machines. That is taking longer than expected. Some other stuff jumped in my way. That is absolutely typical though.
Sad

I am getting there though.
I will post a CAD images on here soon though so you can see where it is going.

Here is that image I mentioned I would post.
Not a lot different than the first one I made, but a few upgrades I think.
