Sliding Table Saw

[kityuser]

I believe that the standard material for marshall 4x12 cabs (as used by.... well EVERYONE) is birch ply.

just taken the back off of mine to check, yup, ply......

ok - so ply is more used than I thought

It goes against all the text books, and everything I was taught tho !

I was only trying to help - honest !

Good luck with the new saw then ! and dont forget WIP's of you 1st speaker cab on it.

as for the miter fence - for large panels a shop made panel cutting jig is much more usable.

dont forget your zero will move when you cut a bevel.

oh - and it is recommended to use the blade guards :wink:

I got the saw delivered and set-up for £650, the later for me at least was quite a bonus.

Tusses I had one of those sleds, similar to the one in the video, but it never worked that well and no way could I get it to slide as smooth as the one he just knocks up and 20 seconds. Probably deserves another try, but for the sake of a complete table I'll have to get that part anyway.

Thanks for all the help, when I get started I'll be sure to remember the WIP pics.

a couple of coats of wax on the table top and the bottom of the sled really makes a difference

enjoy your new toy anyway

Did you just agree with me?

Only partially. For applications requiring a scoring blade whilst you can get by with a high AT blade the blade life will be much, much shorter and you tend to get less grinds out of them (went that way years back before I bought my first scoring table saw). The cost/longevity factor is really why the trade uses scorers over high AT, that and the fact that high AT blades are a lot more fragile than conventionl AT + scorer or triple chip designs
