    Hangin' onto your heavy metal???

    No, I don't mean "are you keeping your machines?"... That would be a very dumb question for this group and would probably end up with a mob visiting me with torches and pitchforks in the middle of the night for even asking...

    I mean, how much stuff do you have attached to your cabinet saw/machines?

    As woodworkers, space is at a premium and we are always looking for convenient storage... I've seen outfeed tables that weigh in excess of 50# attached with no other support...I've seen wood shelving bolted onto the metal cabinets of jointers, planer, etc... I've seen bolt-on panels that hold dozens of blades, accessories and jigs that had to weigh over 100#...

    How much do YOU have hangin' from your machines? How many holes have you drilled into your cabinets (not the cast iron)??? How much is TOO much???

    Personally, I haven't attached anything yet, but I want to see the limits that have been tested by others first.

    I wanna see some pics!!!!!
