Overview

Description While it’s true that a table saw excels at ripping, crosscutting and dadoes, there’s so much more you can do on your saw. Buckle your seat belt and get ready to learn! You’re going to be amazed by the seven techniques you’ll learn in this class. Some techniques require shop-made jigs, which you’ll be able to easily produce in your shop. With the jigs in hand, we’ll teach you how to: Use your table saw as a pattern cutter to make identical partsCut extremely steep angles. This is a must-have skill for flag cases.Make raised panels. No specialized panel raising router bit is required.Safely cut tapered legs, and build the jig for handling them.Safely rip very thin strips. Long or short pieces, our jigs have you covered.Cut coves. This requires feeding material across the blade at an angle.Cut circles. Yes, you can cut circles on the table saw using a simple jig. Each of the seven techniques are broken down into easy-to-understand steps. You’ll see how to build any required jigs, and how to use the jigs on the table saw. You’ll also learn about what table saw blade works best for each of the operations. Safety is, of course, a huge consideration. You’ll learn about using safety devices, and how to protect yourself while using the table saw for these advanced techniques. In addition to your video instruction, you’ll get a helpful class PDF that you can print out and take into the shop with you as a reminder of how to do each technique.
