Default 8' long rip on TS

Yah. I do that for shorter cuts, but don't have an 8' long straightedge.


Sure ya do. You just made 14 of them, right? :-)


Doh! Yeah. Also eyeing the spare 8' long white melamine shelf that's been
gathering dust in the corner. A length of cleats down its length, and a
simple cut with the saw will turn it into a usable guide. (No matter. I'm
just pleased as punch with how easily it cuts on the TS now.)

Anyway, there's not much left of the plywood. There's a little less than a
square foot of small bits and pieces in scrap. It was quite an epiphany to
discover that there's a bookcase hiding in each 4x8 sheet of plywood. Just
add some edge banding and a 1/4" back sheet.
