Tablesaw Techniques by Steve Latta:
Although often the focal point of their shop, many woodworkers don?t know how to properly set up the table saw. A properly tuned saw is a joy to use and, equipped with the proper accessories and jigs, can become quite versatile; capable of tasks not even imagined by the manufacturer. The purpose of this demonstration is to first establish how to tune and equip your saw and answer a few basic questions such as?.. in the myriad of blades and accessories, what has value vs. what is a waste of money! After covering the basics or ripping and crosscutting, I?ll also broaden your understanding of this workhorse by introducing a variety of advanced techniques. We?ll focus on the not-so-common techniques of patternsawing, straight and tapered mitering, milling multiple parts, dovetailing, tenoning, etc. Interwoven throughout the demo will be discussions on clean milling practices, referencing, controlling tear-out and dust management.
