    Hello, Izzy! Thank you and your videographer for such a wonderful tutorial on a device with such profound process efficiency and safety for working with panels on a tablesaw instead of having to resort to track saws. Truly impressed! At age 70, greatly appreciated the humor at 7:58 + : ) That was very good, and tasteful, and to do both with the cut-in was simply genius. Bravo!
    I really am impressed with your ingenuity and tutorial skill. I can see you think in 3D, with both left and right hemispheres synchronized in harmony. Keep up the great work! Cheers!

  • @declaneric
    @declaneric 11 месяцев назад +4

    Even having a track saw for on-location work, what a fantastic tool this is for working large pieces in the shop. Most shops I've been in have a rolling table to butt up against the saw to cut plywood. But this is actually better, because having the legs separate, leaves room to move the boards forward without leaning, which is usually how it goes. Here, you just walk forward in between the legs to make the cut more stable.
    VERY nice work. Thanks to Jay for the idea, and you for the adaptation!

    That is a great idea. And I agree, breaking down you plywood is far faster on a table saw. Even at 70 years old , I can still muster a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 inch plywood on the table saw and I always have to do it by myself. But I am not going to say it is easy. Those jigs will help considerably. In the last year I got a Makita track saw which I like a lot, but no way is it anywhere near as fast as the table saw. On the table saw, I set the fence and I cut. Never have to take out a tape measure or pencil and mark anything. Really enjoy you videos. My best to you and Maggie.

  • @vincegrey8718
    @vincegrey8718 Год назад +1

    Fine idea of you have a big workshop and a big table saw. It doesn't replace the functionality of a track saw. For most of us planning the project so you can have the plywood ruffed out on a panel saw at the lumber yard in manageable pieces is cheap or free. Then true them up on your table saw. I built a whole kitchen for my son who lives 3 hours away in my 10 x14 shed by having my plywood cut into halves or thirds at Lowes. I then used a track saw to break them into near finished pieces. I only have a DeWalt contractor table saw on a portable stand and use that for final sizing on critical pieces. But God bless anyone with a larger workshop who makes a living at woodworking. Lastly, it is inspirational to see the creative mind at work to solve problems.
