More than 40 over the years. Ten at any one time. Mostly Ford and New Holland
I came across a pair of FREE cast iron table saw extensions on the weekend. I used them for making welding setup squares based on the ones available from Fireball Tools:

https://fireballtool.com/


Cuts were made with bandsaw, abrasive cut off saw, and angle grinder with zip cut wheel. I used 1/8” stainless 309L rods at 96 amps for welding the CRS flat bar to the cast iron.

Very nice. I've looked at those squares too yikes costly. Now I guess I have to get back onto Craigslist and look for old table saws. Never thought of modifying those extensions!

I decided to utilize my scraps from building the bigger squares and welded up a pair of minis.

I don’t usually like forking out money on projects involving recycling materials but I sprung for a rattle can to tidy them up.
