Besides rip cuts, of course!
Got this one.
It was the cheapest one I could find, so basically, the only one I could justify buying. :lol:
I was a bit disappointed by it - I didn't notice the table itself was plastic, not metal. And the biggest cut it can handle is 10 3/4". Still, I guess I can learn with it.
These are the issues I've had....if you could help me with them I'd be very grateful.
1) Yesterday I tried to build a box using 45° corners. Apparently, the table saw isn't that precise, since I needed a lot of force in order to place the saw at that angle - and it didn't stay that way for long. Same thing for 0° - my father had to help me place the saw and then lock it! Are all table saws the same?
2) What's the preferred method of building a box? 45° corners, or 90° cuts? I suppose 45° is used when plys like baltic birch are used, and 90° for everything else. Am I right?
3) Can I use the table saw to do facet cuts, like Jon's M8ta's?
Thanks for all help!
