Table Saw: Workshop Bench Reference

By Roger W. Cliffe

A table saw is the favorite tool for cutting wood of all sizes, but it can do so much more. This spiral-bound, topic-tabbed guide to its hundreds of functions is like buying a host of new tools at a fraction of the cost. Every technique gets a clear, fully illustrated explanation. Cutting processes include crosscutting, ripping, mitering, and beveling as well as joinery cuts such as dadoes and rabbets. The guide to accessories ranges from standard to advanced options. Methods for cutting every type of stock are followed by a section on dado head types-- stack, wobble, and adjustable V-shape. A valuable safety survey focuses on preventing common accidents. Best of all is the huge section of tips and shortcuts for mastering dozens of procedures: ripping and crosscutting stock; cutting miters and rabbets; and making dadoes, joints, tenons, and mortises. Everything comes together in plans for a panel door and frame.
