Dear Iggy. Has Anyone Told You, What a perfect Ass you make of Yourself,
by Over Use of Capitalization?

Invest in extra blades for specific jobs and customise it with fences, jigs etc. Weigh it down with sandbags if it's too flimsy


Agreed to both. To make the most of a table saw you need room around it.

For cutting 8x4, these days I just use two workmates and an extra stand,
plus 8' and 4' sawboards and a circular saw. I hardly ever use the table
saw in fact.

My late father in law was a master builder and serious carpenter but
went broke and ended up in a council house with very little workshop
space. He had an L shaped path around the house, with a dwarf wall
retaining a lawn. He had a Clarke table saw (the one I inherited) and
made a clever stand which fixed it all to the dwarf wall so that he
could use that for lead-in and lead-out when ripping long stuff to size
or with a bevel.
