Okay so you bit the bullet and equipped your shop with a great table saw. Are you getting the most out of it? In this lecture and demonstration Steve will take a detailed look at this workhorse so that participants can tap its potential. After a brief glance at set up Steve will dive into basic operations, joinery, accuracy, efficiency, and milling multiples. He will then move onto the not-so-common techniques of pattern sawing, mitering, milling multiple parts, dovetailing, etc. Interwoven throughout the demo will be discussions on clean milling practices, referencing, controlling tear-out and dust management. Students will learn the basics of how to rip and crosscut materials, how to make a crosscut sled, tapering and tenon fixture, the safe way to use dado heads, plus a lot of joinery techniques.

Bring a notebook…. you’ll put it to good use.
