Intermediate Table Saw

Get more out of your table saw! The table saw is a tool at the heart of many workshops and is capable of much more than just ripping material to width. In this intermediate-level class we will:

• Review setting the saw to accurately dimensioned cuts
• Create joinery for furniture: for example, tenons, dadoes, and rabbet joints, and box joints)
• Practice setting the saw for accurately dimensioned angled cuts (important for raised panels in furniture)
• Make crosscuts using a miter gage and crosscut sled
• Introduce various jigs that can be made for specialty jobs

Bring your skills up to the next level with this in-depth class!
