Yes thats right a homemade bacon slicer.
Yesterday I brought up things I wanted but never bought for myself and a slicer was one of them.
Then I got this brain storm and needed to buy something.
I looked on line and saw it and realized I had already bought the darn thing for another project that I didn't follow through on.
The reason was I got something else in its place a rotary indexing table.
Then there was the miter fence project that I dont need anymore because I bought better miter fence.
So I went out in the garage and got what I was going to buy.
A 180 tooth carbon steel 10 inch table saw blade.
What I am going to do is put the blade on my saw attach one of my grinders to the top of the table and run it against the other with both spinning.
This will grind a perfect razor sharp edge on one side if the blade and get rid of the teeth.
Now I will have a bacon slicer blade I can use on the table saw.
Simply put a protrusion on the lead end of the fence adjust to thickness.
This will allow the bacon to fall out of the way of the blade and not get caught up in the fence.
Run the bacon on the miter fence I made and slice away.
The saw top will have heavy paper on it and the blade ran up through it so there will be no gap between the blade and the table saw insert.
When finished slicing wash down with Windex and oil the surfaces.
A bacon slicer that will cut thin slices of bacon.
Or at least in theory anyway.
Stay tuned for the project, steps successes and failures coming soon.
