  1. Cutting Table For Plywood Sheets- zero clearance foot

    Cutting Table For Plywood Sheets- zero clearance foot

    This is a piece of 1/8" Lexan that I have cut to make a zero clearence type base for my saw. It is bolted to the saw's foot and has a narrow kerf for the blade to pass through. This almost completely eliminates chip-out. I use a thin kerf carbide blade for plywood

  2. Cutting Table - Straightedge in place for the cut

    Cutting Table - Straightedge in place for the cut

    I use an aluminum straightedge plus homemade plastic spacers to position it for the correct offset of the fence so the saw cut is on my mark. It is accurate to about 1/32". I always cut the panels slightly large and finish cut them on my table saw.

    Cutting Table - Table Tipped Up and Ready For Cutting

    Saw and Straightedge in place. Set the saw depth of cut to the material thickness plus about 1/4". This is a staged photo as I did not actually cut the plywood for this shot, but notice how both pieces of plywood remain in position without falling.

  4. Cutting Table - With plywood loaded ready for lifting

    Cutting Table - With plywood loaded ready for lifting

    The plywood is against the table and sitting on the cleats, prior to lifting upright. This is a staged photo. A full sheet of plywood could be placed, but it's possible to load and tilt smaller pieces this way.

  5. Cutting Table - Table open with Cleats Turned Out

    Cutting Table - Table open with Cleats Turned Out

    The table is ready to place plywood against it on the turned out cleats (bottom) prior to lifting the table and plywood upright together. This is more of a tilting process than a full lift and goes easy.

    Cutting Table - Table folded in carrying position

    A table to break down plywood and other construction lumber that is much more comfortable to use than saw horses. It is 84" long and 34" wide, but these dimensions aren't critical. It can be made to any size that suits you. For the next top I will use 1X4 pine for the table edges and...

    Cutting plywood

    Really not the best way to support your work when cutting plywood. Not me this time although I did trim the side of one of my rollaround cabinets when not paying attention to what I was doing.

    Cutting Board Finish?

    I know this has only been asked a few hundred times here but I can't remember what your supposed to use for cutting board finish. Heck, I've even made and finished a few boards in the past. I know we have a few pros in the ranks so I though I'd throw the question out one more time. My BIL...

    Advice in cutting up metal/old saws?

    What's the secret to cutting beads?

    Whenever I attempt to cut a 1/4" wide bead using a Crown beading tool, typically when I'm 95% complete the middle portion of the bead will lose a few chunks of wood. Materials that this has occured in include oak, walnut, and sycamore. Obviously it is operator error; what am I doing wrong...
