| Sliding Table Saws |
| Rethinking your shop with the sliding table saw. Every once in a while I go out on a limb and try some radical thinking. I try to think outside of the box and ask myself, “If I could have the ultimate time saving device, what would it be”? This question should be the center of everyone who is in the woodworking field. How do you get more time and safety out of your tools? I personally have really come to understand good time management. In the past I would approach every chore, job and project from a money view. What ever is cheapest would be the way to go. Sometimes this approach can bite you in the long run. It might be ok, if you are a hobbyist and enjoy the time factor in the shop, but if you want to make the most money for your time, you will want to maximize your priorities and do things that are super productive. The table saw is the heart and sole of most shops. Therefore it is usually the main ingredient that you spend your money and time on. The table saw also has the privilege of having the most injuries than any other machine in the shop. Let’s look at some quick facts. · Buying stock in sheets (plywood) saves money · Breaking down sheet stock usually involves several different tools · Organization is key · You will always need one good straight edge · Ripping on a table-saw is always challenging · Kick back is always the main culprit · Chances are you will need to buy or make several jigs to use with the saw Sliding table saws I know what you’re thinking, I can’t afford it. That’s because you look at the tool and its price tag and make your declaration. If you looked at the tool and learned how much time it would save you, you might change your mind. My Dad always taught me to work smart. I remember my mother showing me how to empty the dishwasher and put the dishes away all in one step, instead of the two step process via the counter that I thought was good. When we cut down the amount of time handling the wood, we increase our productivity. Increased productivity is always better.
