Jim will provide a comprehensive look at the most popular and productive stationary tool in the shop. He will discuss basic saw anatomy, setup, tuning, maintenance and trouble shooting, including how to check the blade for heeling and how to realign the table and fence if necessary. He will examine fence selection, mounting and alignment; miter guides and ways to improve them; cut-off stop blocks and dedo fences. You'll get a close look at a shop-built sliding crosscut sled with blade cover, and ways to adapt it for special needs. He will share his experience on tablesaw safety: understanding kickback and what causes it, what safety devices can and cannot do to protect you, and how to keep yourself safe while using this indispensable machine.

This class is highly recommended for every woodworker, whether you own a tablesaw or are considering adding one to your shop.
