Although I haven't been there in a while, I noticed yesterday that Home
Depot is carrying "Formaldehyde-free" plywood now (by Columbia Forest
Products). I thought that $39.95 for a 3/4" 4' by 8' sheet was quite
fair based on the prices of similar Formaldehyde-free materials I have
seen described (and availability is another thing altogether..). My
previously-discussed sensitivity to formaldehyde makes living or
working
with the "ordinary stuff " impractical. If this stuff lives up to my
expectations, if may re-open doors that I perceived were shut-off to
me!
I am hopeful! : ) For $20 they will provide me with a pickup truck
for
75 minutes. Question: Can I, with a partner, safely cut a full sheet in
half on a 30" table saw (without risking kickback)?

The weight of a full sheet, or even half sheet would make kickback on
most
contractor's saws (120v) minor. Just keep out of the way and use
outfeed
rollers or table, along with something at the side. When I had a shop,
I
built a little 12X30" table just the height of the TS and kept it to the
left of the TS. A couple shelves in the table really added to its
utility.

This reminds me of something I saw in the past year or so. Plan for a cart
for moving plywood sheets. Cart - like hand cart - swung the sheet up
parallel to the floor and morphed into an infeed table.

Shopnotes?


This one?

Doesn't quite fit the description, but I think the cart could be
modified to be an infeed table if desired, with some swing down legs.



I think that is the one I remembered. Looks like I imagineered the infeed
table part ...

Morris' cart is much better!
