CLASS DESCRIPTION
Often touted as the most versatile tool in the shop or garage, the Table Saw is also one of the most powerful (and potentially risky) machines on the market today.
But, when treated with a healthy dose of respect, these machines become trusty companions, saving us great time and money, and opening up all kinds of potential for efficiency and creativity.
On Day 1 we'll start by covering everything from terminology, safe usage, and the most common cuts. On Day 2 we'll get far more advanced. We'll cover basic cabinet and furniture-maker's joinery and show you how to make your cuts with precision. We'll begin with rabbets and dadoes, talk about dado stacks and miter sleds, show you how to make beveled cuts, finger-joints, box-joints, and we'll finish by talking about how to make and use table saw jigs.
This is a skills-based class where you will learn a lot about table saws, but you might not make a project to take home.
Topics covered:
Basic tablesaw anatomy, maintenance, and safety
Rip cutting vs. Cross-cutting
Joinery-related cuts: box-joints, finger-joints, rabbets, and dadoes
Tablesaw accessories for safety and advanced usage: miter gauges, crosscut sleds, featherboards, tapering-jigs, stop blocks, dado stacks etc.
Skill level: This is for adults aged 18 or over. This is a beginner class though some prior experience with woodworking is helpful.
Class Schedule: Class will run for 3 hours each day with no break planned
