This
easy to make tray attaches to the rear of the Handyman machine via 2
angle brackets which are supported via the Backstop bars.
The construction consists of 3 right-angle bends in 1.6 mm steel.
If the corner detail shown in the layout drawing below is followed then
it should result in tight corners in the tray which will not
require welding.
It is not really necessary to follow the fine detail shown in the
corner layout; the main thing is to have the corner cutouts aligned
with the bend lines, although it may be helpful to approximate the
detail with a diagonal nick made with a thin cut-off disc in an angle
grinder.
If bending this tray with a Magnabend then it is preferrable to use the
slotted clampbar as this will assist in getting a tight intersection at
the corners.
The tray attaches to the angle brackets with M8 x 8mm long button
head screws, two on each side. However you can use any type of M8
screw to attach the tray. Also, if the correct length (8mm)
is not readily available,
just use longer screws and cut them off flush with the angle bracket
after installation.
Optionally you may like to add a rubber mat to the tray. (For example 3mm flutted rubber matting).
