Thanks for watching!

Good discussion! I would offer that I think it’s important to verify the parallel faces of your fence since you’ll be using both sides as you orient the fence to either side of the blade. The concern is that you can be off when it comes to the fence being parallel to the blade as you switch sides.

Good point!

Great explanation. Now I know why I use the right hand side to make my rip cuts. Thanks for confirming, I'm right handed.

Cutting full sized sheet goods can be hard and dangerous. Much harder to control and more likely to pinch and cause kickback when your feed is not accurate. Few (including me) are skilled enough to do this. Fortunately large pieces of ply are heavy enough that any kickback probably won't get shot out and hit you. But you'll still damage the sheet and maybe the blade and fence. In addition, if you do choose this option you may want to seriously consider an in-feed and out-feed table, both will add a lot of stability and increase your feed accuracy. An out-feed table is also very useful for many other operations. My suggestion, if you're regularly processing sheet goods, is to get a track saw. I use mine almost exclusively for this. It has the added advantage of being able to process 2-3 sheets at once, and it's 1000 times easier and safer.

Now that's a table saw I want in my Christmas stocking.

You are welcome

lots of good information, i am brand new into the woodworking hobby, in fact my wife's uncle gave me his older Delta table saw.After watching a lot of other videos on here about proper procedure and safety i noticed a few things on the saw he gave me. there was no blade guard, no kirf knife, it looked like part of the throat plate was missing, after a few practice cuts it felt dangerous to me, so i went to Lowes and picked up a new table saw, it was a Metabo it was priced at 329, marked down from 569 the 329 price was the same as the kobalt so i figured why not . i'm a new subscriber as well thanks again for the information.

@@sflagg0817 Steve, new saw or old, if something doesn't feel right stop and rethink it (just as you did). There is almost always another way to do something safer in woodworking. Your 329 saw isn't a heavy cabinet saw, be very careful about cutting plywood or other heavy objects that can tilt the saw over. You don't need the flesh sensing technology that sawstop sells at astronomical sense, just a good head on your shoulders, good workpiece support, and push sticks/blocks, and featherboards. Featherboards cost money but hey you can use them on the router table to. Watch videos about kickbacks so you understand how to use your fence properly and when to use a spacer block.

@@chrisschultz6129 thanks for the information, I received 2 grrripers for Christmas, when using them I always find myself making sure the gripper I'd going to pass safely, at this point I don't see myself cutting large sections of plywood probably small woodworking projects, the new saw definitely feels safer but I do like I've seen Steve Ramsey say and do and that I to make the cut without th saw on, check everything thanks again, I work manufacturing for over 25 years and the one time I was careless I was lucky enough of having a part of my pointer finger glued back together, instead of loosing it, but the numbness and feeling I get whenever I use it for typing reminds me that no matter how long you have Been doing something don't be careless. I also am unable to use it for fingerprint scan at work to us time clock they had to set I up for my left finger.

Thanks!

Welcome!

Thanks for this video. I am a lefty. I find it very frustrating that power tools are created for right handed people. Meanwhile studies show left handed people on average are more creative and as a refrigeration mechanic, I have noticed that about 30% of the people in trades I meet are left handed not the 1 in 9 born left handed. When I use right handed power tools like skill saws or table saws, it can be a little nerve racking. I wish stores would at least carry 25% left handed power tools. I bet they would sell out. Cheers!

when you set the fence at 36" inches from the blade, do you get a cut thats 36" inches? or is the cut slightyly smaller by the thickness of the blade ( ex. 1/8")? when making a cut do we need to account for the thickiness of the blade and make heavy 36"?

I can't stop looking, with envy, at your sound system. Is it Pioneer?

Yes true. I'm on left hand. So its more comfortable to put fence on the left, thus making it safer for me.

If a 45 inch rip was needed out of a 4x8 sheet of plywood it's possible by putting fence on left side 3 inches from blade . The larger section of the table will support the work piece when making the cut .

wouldn't that configuration give you the wider cut anyway? I can get a 36" cut with the fence on the left too, just allow for the kerf. I often use the fence on the left when ripping long pieces that are wider than 2 feet. To me, that's why the rails are extended that direction.

So it's ok to push on the piece you are cutting off?
