Functions
- The main function of the base is to be the part of the Cold Saw that mounts onto an external surface. The base should be elevated enough from the mounting surface such that the swivel mechanism can be adjusted from below.
The elevation can be achieved by 4 blocks, 1 under each corner of the base.
Fastening can be achieved by the use of C-clamps or fasteners after drilling holes to match the pattern on the mounting surface.
- The base also functions as a smooth surface on which swiveling parts can slide on, and provides a hole through which the swivel rod can be inserted. This hole on the base acts as the center of rotation for the swivel mechanism.
- The base is rigidly mounted to the vise such that the the rigidity of the mounting surface is transferred via the base to the vise. Rigid vise mounting is a requirement of precision operation. The fastening method is
Concepts
The base is just a plate with a few holes:
- 1 Swivel hole
