Default Sawing cherry plywood

Make sure to use a high tooth count blade, even better if it is a
blade made for plywood. If cutting on a table saw, which I prefer, put
the good side up and make sure to set the blade so the teeth and
gullets come completly out of the board. You can also put masking tape
right down the center of where you are going to cut and this will help
minimize or elimate chip out. The only reason I prefer the table saw
is faster setup. A circular saw and a straight edge can work just as
good but it takes much longer to setup for good square cuts. Finally,
do lots o' practice cuts until you have a good system worked out.

Hi Folks,

I have a project that calls for 3/4 cherry plywood for side, top and
bottom panels edged with solid cherry. I am concerned about any
splintering at the plywood edges as this would really look terrible. I
will probably use a circle saw to get the larger panels cut close to
size and then, after applying the front exposed edging I will make the
cross cuts on a table saw with a sled. Any advice????
