Summary:
In the video, table saws are explained to be one of the most versatile tools in the workshop, and how to use them safely.
Here are some of the key points:
Table saws are great for making repeat cuts and accurate cuts.
It is easier to move the wood through the saw than the saw through the material.
When using a table saw, it is important to never cut without a riving knife, as it helps prevent kickback.
Kickback is when the blade grabs the timber and throws it back in your direction.
It is important to set the fence parallel to the blade before starting to use the saw.
Table saws come with miter fences, which can be used to support timber while you are pushing it through the blade and to carry out angled cuts.
It is important to never use the miter fence and the standard rip fence at the same time.
Table saws are a versatile tool, but they should be used with caution and following safety rules.
