Recutting My Bandsaw’s Flip Up Table Blade Slot

The only concern would be the JB letting go, but if you did the prep work rite then it should hold for that. I wouldn't worry about opening the slot up any, the blade will do that on it's own. I need to cut a new aluminum disk for my vertical bandsaw. It's got a cast iron table with aluminum insert for the blade area and after a number of years the slot is huge.

You have given me a good "plan B". If the JB Weld doesn't hold, I can mill out a recess and make an aluminum disk with a slot in it. Since I often lift up the table, the disk would need to be secured.

Thanks,
