Personally I’ve switched to a saw with a riving knife, started using feather boards for horizontal and vertical hold downs whenever possible, and spent a lot of time making sure my fence was exactly parallel to the blade. I feel a lot better about things now. Building a precise (Ng 5 cut method) sled has made many of my cuts so much safer and precise it’s crazy.

- Grrripper push block
- Feather board
- Zero clearance insert
- Crosscut sled

That's one of my next purchases, but only see myself using it for glue ups or on the drill press. I have a million jigs so that is partly why lol

Does anyone use board buddies? I’ve been debating between those and the JessEm clear-cut.

PSA: Jet and Powermatic are having supply chain issues. Ordered a jet dust collector in March with an April delivery date. Woodcraft has pushed it back every month and their current best estimate is July 7th (though they are still advertising a June ship date). Just keep that in mind if you have any sense of immediacy around your purchasing needs.

Any Black Friday deals out there?

Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!

Anyone here own a saw stop PCS or a Powermatic PM2000? Ive been setting aside money in my woodworking slush fund for a good cabinet saw to replace my contractor saw, and I’m intrigued by the SS’s hotdog sensing technology. Eager to hear opinions from anyone who owns one of the two saws.
