Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Step 1
Begin by tracing your tower design onto your 3/4" sanded plywood material. You can get creative on this one however, be sure that you trace 2 identical pieces that will serve as your sides. We cut our base 6" wider and 12" longer than the rest of our tower pieces for added stability when weight is applied.
Step 2
Next, you'll cut out each individual piece from the plywood. We primarily used ourSaw-max equipped with the SM500 Wheel to achieve our straight cuts along each of the marked lines. It is easy to make internal plunge cuts into material with the Saw-Max tool: • Loosen the Depth Adjustment Lever so that the spring loaded foot releases and goes to the zero depth setting. Leave the Depth Adjustment Lever loose during this cut. • Rest the Foot of the tool on the workpiece and Align the tool's wheel with the cut line • While holding the tool firmly, Press the Paddle Switch and allow the tool's wheel to come up to full speed. • Slowly plunge/lower the tool and wheel into the workpiece. • Guide the tool forward and complete the cut • Release the Paddle Switch and allow the tool to come to a complete stop before removing it from the workpiece.
