I was thinking using a table saw., you get the idea though? I just wondered if anybody tried it or use it. Your right its probably a bad idea, and its not worth it the rails cheap enough anyways. I should be more concerned about making a base for the rail. I like the gun turret type on apogee, but $450!?! That's a little ridiculous. You could make it for a heck of a lot cheaper than that. I really only need the rail launch pad now for the Gforce.
The problem with running it through a table saw would be keeping it from rolling as you push it through. Then there's the flexibility of the pipe to deal with. A length of square aluminum tubing would work better, but since the 1010 rail is so inexpensive from Amazon, why bother?
As for the pad, $450 for that pad is crazy! If you wanted and needed a pad that stout, I'm sure you could have one fabricated for less than that. There are several different ways to attach a rail to a pad, but I've never done it. I've always used the rail pads at the club launches.
