Mid 70's Table Saw Usage

Post by SaturnMarkV »

I have a Mid-70's Mark V, and I'm looking for guidance on using the table saw effectively.

I have the table, the miter, the fence, and the auxiliary end support.

Are there any tips you could give, or guides to point me to? Very much hoping to make the most of this, and possible buy some more supports in the future.

Thanks,

Clean saw blades, waxed with Johnsons Paste Wax, The Work Table cleaned and also waxed, the blade aligned to the table, and rip fence properly, push sticks, and use of out-feed and in-feed stock support rollers to support stock.

Don't try to cut large sheet goods on it. Get a good guide, clamp it to the sheet and use your portable circular saw. The SS is great for everything else but not sheet goods over about 3' x 3'.
Just my humble opinion.
