As someone who has mostly used hand tools and a track saw, I have a few questions about my new table saw.
I mounted it on a 'proper' Dewalt stand to wheel it outdoors, and I'm glad I did, it's heavy and well built.
The top surface does might seem a little uneven though, and I yet have to tune the accuracy of the settings, or rather, I messed with it changing the blade.
I have a DWE7485 and would like to fit a finer toothed blade, the goal being to cut ply wood sheets into strips and parts for a hobby project.
It needs to be accurate with nice edges for gluing together into a frame.
I have an Etsy 3D printed insert to fit for fine work later, a feather board, and a dial gauge for set up on it's way.
I have some camper cabinets planed for later.
The max blade thickness on the saw is 2.4mm and the new blade I bought from Screwfix is a 2.2mm Erbauer 60t.
I am concerned about the discrepancy, apparently I may need to change the 'riving knife' which is a new word to me.
Does the blade need some sort of spacer?
I get that saws should be used with caution and be aware of the blade jamming, so I am asking about table saw use before I begin.
I bought a wood push stick.
The internets says I should also get a tourniquet kit.
Also of note, when I'm happy I am competent, I need to safely cut up full size ply sheets on my own outside.
I have a pair of Bosch roller stands, but I think I may need another pair to keep the work piece from dropping. If that's the right way to do it, that is...
How do the pro's do it?
