| 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. Felder Sliding table saws are an amazing combination of precision and time saving designs. Felders sliding table saw makes breaking down stock, easy. Instead of using many different tools to break down large sheets, the accuracy and ability to break down plywood and sheet stock in one step is an amazing benefit. Traditionally to take advantage of buying sheet stock we would: · Use a panel saw to handle or break down · Then go to a table saw or radial arm to make manageable pieces · The to the jointer for some straight edges · Then back to the table saw for the exact cut for dimensions The Felder 500, 700, and 900 series with their sliders make straight line ripping very accurate and safe. These machines are designed to get you to handle your stock less, which is the biggest reason to move to a sliding table saw. Want another good time saver? Check this out. |
