Adding access panel

[thirty6]

Anyone added an access panel or door to a stand that is attached to a running system?
If so how much of a pia

It's a solid well built diy stand not a factory product

I would think that as long as you don't vibrate too much or lift it up you should be ok

There is no way to lift it too heavy, I'd I agine it would vibrate if using a Power tookl like a saw. Structurally I don't think it's a problem, worried out vibration component

Anyone done this?

as long as your only cutting the skin, not supports you will be fine.
use a fine tooth blade for less vibration.

I would use a hand saw it is not a lot of meat to cut and it will give you better control IMO

You could use a multi tool if cutting with a hand saw is to much. it won't be to harsh you might go through a couple blades if the door is big. They sell cheap ones at harbor freight

Thanks guys, I didn't really think of hand saw. May give it a shot. I think if I added an access panel my aump can fit better than it does maybe be able to use fuge as it was intended. Et now I can't reach it

I tried with an existing stand with a reciprocating saw and regret how it turned out. I have to redo the skin on that side or just make an access panel that goes around the crooked cut. I also cut it on the other side I thought it was going on so it isn't visible so I am not in a hurry.

If I move shortly then I'll finish up the access panel but will decide from there.
